Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a clutch control apparatus, and more particularly, to a clutch control apparatus that achieves miniaturization of machinery and reduces an operational error by using a non-contact type displacement detection system using a position detecting sensor for a clutch clearance, and regulates the operation of an actuator using a plurality of solenoid valves, as a result, allowing accurate position control of a pneumatic cylinder which operates the clutch, thereby improving fuel efficiency and achieving fuel reduction as well as reducing emissions of carbon dioxide.
