Hydraulic Clutch

A hydraulic clutch is a unit designed for easier clutch pull and improved clutch control. It has various advantages over a standard mechanical clutch. It requires lesser and shorter lever pull than most mechanical clutches. The hydraulic system is self-adjusting thus requires less maintenance and no cables to lube. The hydraulic clutches can be self-adjusting and come pre-bled with heat shrink-covered stainless steel hose. These hydraulic clutches can be bolted on with common hand tools. The installation process of these clutches is fairly easy and simple.

How Hydraulic Clutch Works?

Hydraulic clutches are basically equipment drive assemblies consisting of hydraulically actuated components which are used for connecting two shafts. The shafts can either be locked together and spin at the same speed, or they spin at different speeds when separated. Hydraulic clutches transfer power or force from one point to another using an incompressible fluid like oil. A hydraulic clutch transfers power from an engine to devices like drive wheels or transmissions. Hydraulic clutches are self-regulating.
