Hydraulically actuated clutches deliver higher torque per unit volume than any other clutch.

Hydraulic clutches are mechanical friction clutches actuated with hydraulic oil acting on pistons. The oil is delivered at pressures as high as 500 psi, which accounts for the high torque-transmission capability. In general, operating pressure is a function of torque, speed, cycle rate and bearing life.

Operating principles for hydraulically actuated clutches are similar to those for pneumatically actuated clutches. Friction elements can be immersed in oil to cool them, and the piston seals keep out dirt. However, if oil immersion is used, multiple clutch elements must be added to maintain the torque level.

Hydraulic actuation usually provides fast response, and smooth engagement can be produced by controlling the rate of pressure buildup with a pressure-control valve. Because fast response normally is a prime reason for using hydraulically actuated clutches, they require relatively short, large-diameter fluid lines. Remote locations or unusual control requirements may demand additional fluid-control devices to maintain oil pressure at the clutch.

The main disadvantage of hydraulic clutches is the installation and maintenance of the support equipment.

Brom, do you sell the gearbox end of things only for a 2wd cossie?

My Kit car already has a pedal box for a hyd clutch, so I just need the box end of things...
