Abstract
Apparatus for controlling a hydraulic circuit to be used for operating hydraulic clutches with a pump (8) connected with a relevant reservoir (88) for the fluid of the hydraulic circuit and comprising a piston (89) sliding within a relevant chamber (80) provided with one or more ports (83, 84) for connection to said reservoir (88), the said piston being so shaped as to close/open the said ports (83, 84) upon its stroke along said chamber (80), apparatus being characterized in that the idle stroke of the piston (89) within said chamber (80) is adjustable through a rotation of the same piston (89) about its longitudinal axis.
Claims20
An apparatus for controlling a hydraulic circuit to be used for operating hydraulic clutches, said apparatus comprising:
- a pump connected with a relevant reservoir for the fluid of the hydraulic circuit and including a piston sliding within a relevant chamber provided with one or more ports for connection to said reservoir, said piston being so shaped as to close/open said ports upon its stroke along said chamber, wherein the idle stroke of said piston within said chamber is adjustable through a rotation of said piston about its longitudinal axis, wherein said pump is interconnected to a clutch disk-operating piston via the hydraulic circuit.
A hydraulic clutch operating system comprising:
- a pump defined by a body, wherein said pump is interconnected via a hydraulic circuit to a clutch disk;
- a chamber carved lengthwise along an axis within said body;
- a reservoir provided adjacent said chamber;
- a port connecting said chamber with said reservoir for providing the fluid of the hydraulic circuit;
- and
- a piston designed to slide within said chamber along said axis, said piston shaped to open/close said port upon sliding within said chamber, wherein an idle stroke of said piston is adjusted through a rotation of said piston about said axis.
