Description

The Wabco 9700512050 Servo Clutch is a crucial component within the drivetrain system, specifically designed for clutch applications. It is used in IVECO vehicles to facilitate smooth and efficient gear changes by hydraulically actuating the clutch. This servo clutch offers precise control and enhanced reliability through its OE specification design. It features dimensions of 121 x 103 x 322 mm, and utilizes various port thread connections including M14 x 1.5, M16 x 1.5, M12 x 1.5, and a Flap Exhaust for the 31 port. The device operates effectively within a temperature range of -40°C to +80°C and provides a 26.0 mm stroke.

Key Features & Benefits

Basically, a servo clutch uses a small electric motor and some hydraulics to automatically engage and disengage the clutch for you. Instead of you manually pressing the clutch pedal, the system does it based on vehicle speed and other factors. It handles the clutch operation, making shifts smoother and easier. It controls clutch pressure, manages engagement speed, and generally takes over that part of the driving process. It’s usually found in vehicles with automated manual transmissions – so think of a manual gearbox but without the need for you to physically use a clutch pedal. It replaces the traditional cable or hydraulic linkage you'd find in a regular manual, and the computer controls it. It’s a key part of making those transmissions work properly.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, it’s pretty vital to how the transmission operates. If it fails, you’ll likely notice issues with shifting – it might be jerky, the car might not shift at all, or you could even get stuck in gear. Because it’s computer – controlled, sometimes issues can trigger warning lights on your dash. It’s a bit of a complex component, so diagnosis can be tricky. If you’re looking to replace one, places like Fixparts Online usually carry a good range of options. It’s one of those things that when it’s working right, you don’t even think about it, but you’ll notice if it starts to go bad.
