Abstract
The invention provides a method for controlling a clutch fitted with motorized actuation by means of a pulse-fed direct-current electric motor. According to the invention, the control system of the electric motor comprises a microcomputer associated with a memory, in which values defining the duration of the control pulses of the clutch are stored, and these values can be updated during the operating life to take into account ageing and wear. The invention is particularly suitable for automatic clutch control in an automobile.
