  • Patent number: 5337564
    Abstract: A clutch-servo for vehicles which constitutes a working device arranged for fluid connection with a master cylinder to be operated by the vehicle's driver. The servo comprises a working cylinder unit (50) with a piston (5) arranged in a working cylinder (1), which piston is connected to the clutch's engaging mechanism, and a control valve unit (60) for the working cylinder unit (50), with a valve body (21) arranged in the valve housing (44). The master cylinder has a fluid connection with the working cylinder unit (50) and the control valve unit (60), so that the fluid in the master cylinder simultaneously exerts a force on the piston (5) and the valve body (21), in order to try to release the clutch and to move the valve body (21) in order to connect the working cylinder unit (50) to a servo pressure fluid source when the driver operates the master cylinder. According to the invention the valve unit is constituted by a slide valve.
