Clutch boosters

Conventional clutch boosters are used in a combination of pneumatic / hydraulic systems of motor vehicles to reduce the control force on the clutch pedal and to increase sensitivity and accuracy during clutch operation. The working medium is air, in combination with, for example, brake fluid or so-called pentosine. However, it is always necessary to apply the medium prescribed by the manufacturer. Modern vehicles with an AMT automatic manual transmission use electropneumatic clutch boosters, which enable electronic clutch control of commercial vehicles. The operation is performed by means of electromagnetic valves for supply and discharge of the pneumatic control cylinder. The integrated drawbar sensing control unit ensures continuous sensing of the clutch condition.

At Penax, we offer clutch boosters from leading manufacturers Wabco, Knorr-Bremse, Haldex and Kongsberg.
