Abstract
A hydraulic emergency circuit for a hydraulically-operated friction clutch disposed as a part as an electro-hydraulic clutch control between an internal combustion engine and a transmission has a hydraulic pump provided for supplying at least one working line and connected with a power take-off shaft of the internal combustion engine, a throttle valve disposed in the working line, two control lines branching off upstream and downstream of the throttle valve, and a switch valve connected with the control lines and provided for controlling and operating a supply of pressure for the friction clutch, the control line upstream of the throttle valve being connected to a first control input of the switch valve, the control line disposed downstream of the throttle valve being in hydraulic connection with a second control input of the switch valve which is located approximately opposite to the first control input, and a restoring string disposed on a control piston side adjoining the second control input.
