Abstract: An hydraulically actuated clutch release, in particular for automobile clutches, comprising a housing having a cylindrical portion and a flange in which a port for the intake of a pressure medium is incorporated, a cylindrical sleeve, an annular piston having a flange and slidably arranged between the cylindrical sleeve and the cylindrical portion of the housing, thereby forming a pressure medium-admitting chamber, a clutch release bearing having a non-rotating bearing ring, an outer cylindrical sleeve, and a compression ring. The outer cylindrical sleeve comprises two portions of different inner diameter and a bead connecting the portions. One portion fixedly contacts the non-rotating bearing ring and the end face of the annular piston flange, and the other portion covers a portion of the outer sliding surface of the annular piston. The compression spring is arranged between the bead of the outer cylindrical sleeve and the flange of the housing.
