APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING CLUTCHES

摘要

A clutch control apparatus for controlling the operation of a friction type clutch (2) comprises a data generator (6) responsive to an engaging command signal for generating an electric signal corresponding to the time-course in a target clutch stroke pattern for engaging the clutch (2). The actual clutch stroke of the clutch is adjusted by the use of a clutch actuator (4) coupled with the clutch (2) in response to the electric signal in such a way that the actual clutch stroke is made to coincide with the target clutch stroke at each instant, whereby the actual clutch stroke varies in accordance with the desired time-course pattern for engaging the clutch after the application of the engaging commend signal. The initial target clutch stroke of the desired pattern may be corrected in accordance with the amount of operation of an acceleration member (9) to reduce the dead time in the torque transmission through the clutch.
