F. SELF ADJUSTING CLUTCH
A self-adjusting clutch (SAC) eliminates problems
both in terms of wear in the clutch cover and the
need for increased force at the pedal as the facing
thickness reduces.
In addition, the service life of the clutch is
increased considerably. A self-adjusting clutch
does not normally need to be replaced during the
service life of the vehicle.
A self-adjusting clutch (SAC) senses the increase
in release load at the diaphragm spring. It has an
adjustment mechanism between the diaphragm
spring and the clutch cover. This maintains the
angle of the diaphragm spring and ensures that
the pedal effort remains constant throughout the
life of the clutch.
