Clutch actuator for an internal combustion engine

摘要

The present subject matter discloses an electrically operated clutch actuator for an automatic transmission system for automatic disengagement and controlled re-engagement of a multi plate clutch assembly in a four stroke single cylinder internal combustion engine. It comprises of a clutch actuation motor mounted to an external surface of a clutch cover and sealed against ingress of oil, a reduction gear box connected to the said actuation motor for reducing the power received from the said clutch actuation motor, a power transmission mechanism for converting rotational driving force of the said clutch actuation motor into linear contact displacement force and a clutch actuation sensor for detecting the actuation of the clutch. The invention increases the operator comfort and provides better rideability of the vehicle.
