Abstract
The invention relates to a fluid-actuable releaser in which an annular piston (6) is guided in a casing (3) which is provided with a sleeve (10) for guiding the annular piston (6) radially internally and for sealing purposes, the sleeve (10) being axially fixed by partial plastic deformation after insertion into the casing (3) with its external diameter in a bore (16) in the casing (3).
Claims14
A fluid-actuable releaser for a friction clutch of a motor vehicle, comprising
- a casing (3) with a first bore (5);
- a sleeve (10) which is arranged in the first bore (5), which therewith delimits an annular cylindrical chamber, and which is fastened in a sealed manner on the casing (3);
- and
- an annular piston (6;
- 7) which is movably guided in the annular cylindrical chamber on the first bore (5), which carries at one end a seal (12) delimiting a fluid pressure chamber (9) in the annular cylindrical chamber, and which carries, at another end remote from the fluid pressure chamber (9), a release bearing (27),
- wherein the casing (3) has, on a side axially remote from the annular piston (6;
- 7), an annularly, radially inwardly extending rib (15) with a second bore (16) concentric to the first bore (5) and with two annular shoulders (17;
- 18) having axially oppositely directed faces originating at the second bore (16),
- wherein the sleeve (10) penetrates radially guided by the rib (15) into the second bore (16) such that a cylindrical external face (14) of the sleeve (10) delimits the annular cylindrical chamber,
- wherein the sleeve (10) is provided with radially outwardly projecting stop means (20, 22;
- 19) which axially fixes the sleeve (10) on the two shoulders (17;
- 18) of the rib (15), and
- wherein the stop means (20, 22;
- 19) comprises a radially outwardly, plastically deformed portion of the sleeve (10), by which the sleeve (10) is axially fixed on at least one of the two shoulders (17;
- 18).
