E-Clutch Actuator SSMD

Electro-hydraulic clutch actuator for realization of clutch-by-wire function

The E­-Clutch Actuator SSMD is an electro­hydraulic actuator that replaces the conventional, foot pedal driven clutch actuation system ("clutch­by­wire").

The unit is driven by an electric motor and is equipped with an integrated battery pack.

It offers several different modes of operation:

  • Manual mode (i.e. control via analog clutch paddle, e.g. mounted on steering wheel) ­
  • Launch control mode (i.e. assisted clutch engagement powered by the integrated control unit) ­
  • External position mode (i.e. target master cylinder position being sent from external control unit via CAN)

The E­-Clutch SSMD features automatic anti­stall function and its state of the art controller allows to also keep the clutch constantly open over time at a very limited current consumption.

The "SSMD" in its name stands for "Self­-Sufficient Marshal Disconnect", meaning that the unit is featuring the functionality to comply with the FIA safety requirement of being able to externally disconnect the drive train in case of a stranded car with stalled engine & car master switch OFF.
