The clutch booster (cb) reduces the pressure required for the clutch pedal. Therefore you have to keep the clutch booster in perfect condition. In addition, the safety of truck operation depends on the condition of this system.
The main role in the proper operation of the clutch is played by the booster, that is involved in all operations while driving the vehicle without unnecessary difficulties and extends the operating time of the clutch.
Specialists from the AWHelp24 Truck Service remind you that this mechanism can sometimes fail. If a malfunction is found, the clutch booster should be replaced in a specialist workshop.
What are the most common causes of clutch booster malfunction?
The service mechanics from AWHelp24 point out the most common ones:
- compressed air does not come through due to a swollen booster inlet valve;
- blocking of the servo piston of the clutch booster due to swelling of the servo piston, the sealing sleeve or the sealing ring;
- wear or deformation of the sleeve of the boosters air piston ;
- Air entering the hydraulic system, leakage of the hydraulic fluid.
If air enters the clutch release hydraulic circuit, the pedal can “fall through” and the clutch cannot be released as a result. It is necessary to remove air bubbles with part of the hydraulic oil (bleed the clutch). It is very important to monitor the level of liquid in the tank while pumping. If the level drops significantly, you must add hydraulic oil. After adjusting and bleeding the clutch, the oil is filled 1-1.5 cm below the top edge. After these operations, the maximum stroke of the piston rod of the clutch booster is measured, which shall be 18 mm.
