<p>A control for a heavy vehicle clutch wherein control members are moved rearwardly away from an engine (21) to disengage a clutch (24) from an engine (21) and engage a clutch brake disc (44). A pair of co-acting multiple actuators (34) are independently mounted at fixed locations on sides of a bell housing (23) which encloses the clutch (24). The actuators (34) are spaced apart from a longitudinal axis of the clutch (24) and produce a resultant force which is substantially collinear with the longitudinal axis of the clutch (24). The actuators (34) have outward extendable push rods (42) which move rearwardly when a foot pedal (30) is depressed to disengage a clutch (24) and move forwardly when the pedal (30) is disengaged to engage the clutch (24). The push rods (42) engage a movable member (37) which is centered on the axis of the clutch (24) having an outer side portion (69) for restraining the clutch brake disc (44) from rotating when the clutch (24) is disengaged.</p> |
