1. Importance of the Clutch Release Fork

The clutch release fork is a critical component in the clutch system. If the clutch release fork is damaged, it will directly result in the clutch not being able to disengage, leading to severe consequences.

2. Working Principle of the Clutch Release Fork

The working principle of the clutch release fork is as follows:
The output force from the booster cylinder pushes the booster rod.
The booster rod acts on one end of the release fork.
The joint bearing serves as the pivot point, causing the release fork to rotate.
The other end of the release fork pushes the release bearing, which in turn causes the clutch to disengage.
Therefore, the release fork is also referred to as the release lever.

3. Force Characteristics and Design Requirements

Given its force characteristics, the release fork must have a high bending stiffness. This ensures that:
The fork does not bend excessively during the separation process.
The pressure plate stroke is not reduced, which would result in incomplete separation.
