The field of the invention is that of automatic control devices for a dry clutch with friction discs using an electric motor in order to actuate the clutch-release lever. According to the invention, the device is made up of a drive device 1 including an electric motor 20 and an actuation mechanism 10 provided, in general, with a crank for manoeuvring the clutch-release lever L. The electric motor 20 is driven by a control generator 4 as a function, either of the speed of the engine, of that of the vehicle, and of time, or of a predetermined value. A function generator 6 determines the operation of the electric motor 20 and its direction of rotation according to certain driving conditions of the vehicle, thus triggering a clutch-release or clutch-engagement operation. Furthermore, a self-adjustment device 12 is interposed on the clutch linkage 15 and makes it possible to compensate for the progressive wear of the linings of the clutch. The invention finds an advantageous application in motor vehicles. <IMAGE> |
