This article will discuss what is a Concentric slave cylinder. The stepped bore and reduced cross-sectional area help the driver exert less effort. This cylinder also reduces pedal effort. Let’s explore some of its main features. A Concentric slave cylinder can be used to reduce pedal effort by about 50%. However, its basic design may not be immediately obvious. Read on for a detailed explanation. Also, learn why it is used.

 The new, high-quality concentric slave cylinder from Orient replaces the factory-installed units that failed to perform. The concentric slave cylinder is a key component of the clutch system. It is essential that the cylinder is installed in the correct position. A few points to remember when bleeding the system:

A concentric slave cylinder is mounted on a quill tube that surrounds the input shaft, within the bell housing. It eliminates the need for a clutch fork and reduces the driver’s pedal effort. In addition, the design of a concentric slave cylinder shields the clutch components from the elements of road debris and other elements of weather. Once properly installed, concentric slave cylinders will last a long time.

 A concentric slave cylinder comprises a stepped bore and a piston having a non-circular outer periphery. The piston has two portions, with the first portion sized to engage the first portion of the bore, while the second part is dimensioned for engagement with the second portion of the bore. The outer profiles of both the piston and the bore are correspondingly shaped. This design permits the piston to slide in a controlled manner.

 A concentric slave cylinder is a hydraulic clutch actuating device for a vehicle. This device is mounted concentrically on the input shaft of the gearbox. The concentric slave cylinder can be installed with any type of actuating arrangement. It typically includes a release bearing mounted to the piston. The release bearing is brought into contact with the release levers of the associated clutch. Once properly installed, a concentric slave cylinder is a key component of any car’s clutch system.

 It reduces pedal effort for the driver

The new design of the Concentric Slave Cylinder can help drivers reduce the amount of pedal effort required to engage and de-engage the clutch. By reducing the amount of friction on the clutch system, the driver will have a better feel for the clutch pedal. This type of cylinder also improves the overall durability of clutch parts, making them last longer. As an added bonus, it will also reduce engine stalling.

 A concentric slave cylinder has a stepped bore. The piston consists of two separate parts. The first portion of the piston is sized to engage a portion of the bore, and the second part of the piston has a complementary non-circular profile. A stepped bore prevents the piston from rotating within the slave cylinder, while allowing it to slide axially.

 A concentric slave cylinder is mounted on a quill tube in the bell housing of the gearbox. The spring pressure on the slave cylinder forces it to return to the gearbox front plate, reducing pedal effort for the driver. OEM parts may not need shims, depending on the vehicle. It is also important to note that the concentric slave cylinder must be installed in the correct position on the gearbox.

 The master cylinder and the slave cylinder must share hydraulic fluid. If both pistons moved the same distance, the force exerted on the slave cylinder would be 200 N. When the master cylinder piston moves the pistons half as far, the result would be less pedal effort for the driver. The driver’s pedal effort would be decreased by half. And since the driver’s pedal effort would be reduced, he or she would experience less brake-related fatigue.

 It has a stepped bore

The design of the concentric slave cylinder includes a stepped bore. A stepped bore is an elliptical shape in the lateral cross-section of the piston. The two portions of the bore are noncircular, and the outer profiles of the two portions are complementary. These features prevent the piston from rotating within the bore. This design also makes it possible for the slave cylinder and the piston to slide within the cylinder.

 A stepped bore on a slave cylinder will make the master easier to align. The slave is supplied with a green plug to act as a bleed nipple. The stepping bore should match the start of the hose. Be sure to align the threading start with the hose to prevent twisting. Loosening the slave fixing nuts allows the hose to straighten out.

 A stepped bore helps the slave cylinder to remain parallel to the master’s piston – a very important factor for clutch control. The stepped bore also reduces friction between the slave cylinder and master. The piston is not rotated directly, but instead translates the rotation of the master to the slave’s position. The friction between the two parts prevents slipping, and it prevents the slave from spinning without a clutch.

 The concentric slave cylinder is an important part of the hydraulic clutch system. The stepped bore is used to fit the slave cylinder over the transmission input shaft. The slave cylinder actuates the finger levers of the clutch pressure plate. A stepped bore reduces the risk of leaks, but a stepped bore also prevents excessive wear and tear. However, there are some limitations to this design.

 It has a smaller cross-sectional area

One of the main differences between a concentric slave cylinder and a standard master cylinder is the size of its cross-sectional area.

 The two-piece construction of the concentric slave cylinder has several benefits. It enables minimization of the annular chamber while also reducing the overall size of the slave cylinder. It also minimizes secondary finishing operations, which reduces its overall cost. A two-piece design also reduces the number of parts required for the slave cylinder. Its smaller cross-sectional area enables it to be lightweight and compact.

 The other major difference between a centric and a concentratic slave cylinder is their function. The latter has a lower torque output compared to its concentric counterpart, which also eliminates the clutch fork. In addition, the latter allows for more accurate release bearing travel while offering better alignment geometry and close fit to the transmission. The larger coil spring ensures that the bearing face and diaphragm spring fingers remain in contact with each other.

 It has a hydraulic pipe connection

A concentric slave cylinder has a hydraulic pipe connection and is connected to a conduit. This allows the slave cylinder to breathe air while the pipe is connected to a conduit. In addition, the slave cylinder has a hydraulic pipe connection and a connector. This connection prevents the slave cylinder from detaching when air breathing is being performed. A specialized hose is used for this purpose.

 To operate the cylinder, a bleeder valve is required. Newer applications do not have these valves. To bleed a cylinder, a bleeder valve must be used.

 A hydraulic system uses brake fluid, which is prefilled on the cylinder upon leaving production. When in use, water can accumulate in the fluid and reduce its boiling point. Vapor bubbles may form in the slave cylinder. This can cause clutch decoupling issues. It is best to change brake fluid at least two or three times per year. However, make sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations to prevent damage.

 The internal details of the cylinder can differ from model to model. Since it is located inside the car, it is likely to be dirty. To remove these internal parts, use a foot pump. Afterwards, disconnect the hydraulic pipe. It’s safe to reinstall the slave cylinder. However, you must be very careful as the fluid inside is highly corrosive and poisonous.

The hydraulic line is connected to the clutch master cylinder through the master cylinder. A hydraulic line can be cross-threaded and can cause brake fluid to leak out. If this is not done properly, the hydraulic line will become damaged. In addition, the slave cylinder must be held securely by a helper while bleeding. Once the slave cylinder is filled, the helper should use a brass punch to pump the cylinder.
