The CMC is part of both the full and semi hydraulic system. Both the clutch master cylinder and the clutch release cylinder are used in the “semi-hydraulic” system, whereas a “full hydraulic” system uses a CMC and a clutch slave cylinder. In response to this market trend, Valeo has developed a wide range of hydraulic parts: clutch master cylinder (CMC), clutch release cylinder(CRC) and clutch slave cylinder (CSC). This is the main reason why this technology is easier to implement on OE projects. Second, the used material is much lighter (up to 70% reduction of weight compared to the standard clutch system command) as well as much more compact.

First, they enable an optimal and constant pedal effort. These are much more flexible and reliable compared to manual systems. That’s why more and more cars are now using hydraulic systems. Along with technologies and new car manufacturers’ requirements, it has become difficult to fit a cable in a straight line between the pedal and the lever.
