Summary: | An hydraulic actuator for a motor vehicle clutch has an actuating cylinder (25) connected selectively to an hydraulic accumulator (15) or a reservoir (19) through a control valve (23). The accumulator (15) is supplied from the reservoir by a pump (11) operated by a drive (7) such as an electric motor (9). Control means (13) control operation of the motor (9) and the control valve (23). In order to eliminate a pressure sensor in the accumulator (15) a sensor (17) measures the power input of the drive (7) which represents the pressure in the accumulator (15), signals from the sensor (17) being used by the control means (13) to control operation of the drive (7). |
