A hydraulic system includes a master cylinder having a housing, a piston axially movably disposed in the housing, and a piston rod, the piston bounding a pressure chamber filled with a hydraulic fluid, the piston upon actuation of the master cylinder being axially moved by the piston rod to pressurize the hydraulic fluid; an actuating device for moving the piston rod; a slave cylinder; a pressure-medium line connecting the master cylinder and slave cylinder; and at least one damping element arranged between the actuating device and the slave cylinder.

Hydraulic system

The friction clutch between the prime mover and the change-speed transmission in the power train of a motor vehicle is actuatable by a slave cylinder cooperating with a master cylinder wherein the piston is movable by a clutch pedal or by an electric actuator. The casing of the slave cylinder is made, at least in part, of a plastic material and defines a plenum chamber arranged to receive pressurized fluid from the master cylinder by way of a conduit extending through a bell which contains the clutch and the slave cylinder. The annular piston of the slave cylinder surrounds the input shaft of the transmission. The plastic material of the casing of the slave cylinder can contain one or more additives which enhance its strength and/or influence its frictional engagement with the adjacent surfaces of the piston or of a lip seal which reciprocates with the piston. The piston and/or the lip seal can be installed in the casing to contact one or two metallic or plastic guide sleeves which are connected to or form part of the casing.

Hydraulic operating arrangement for clutches and the like

The present invention relates to a hydraulic system, in particular for motor vehicles, including a master cylinder having a housing, a piston which is axially movably disposed therein, which bounds a pressure chamber filled with a hydraulic fluid, and which, upon actuation of the master cylinder, is axially moved by a piston rod acting upon the piston, thereby pressurizing the hydraulic fluid; further including a slave cylinder and a pressure-medium line connecting the cylinders; the master cylinder having an adapter for detachable connection to the pressure-medium line. The objective of improving the connection between the pressure-medium line and the adapter is achieved in that the adapter includes a sleeve made of a metal.
