Abstract
The problem of maintaining fluid modulus during a fast mode release of fluid pressure in a force generating apparatus having a force generating actuator fluidically coupled to a force generating device is solved by limiting the rate at which the actuator can reduce fluid pressure in an apply chamber of the actuator to a rate low enough to preclude a change in modulus of the fluid during the fast mode release.
