Abstract

The invention concerns a disconnecting device for a motor vehicle friction clutch which contains a pressure housing (2) arranged concentrically to a gear box input shaft (3) and fastened to a gear box housing (4). A guiding sleeve (6) is arranged in the pressure housing (2) radially separated from the gear box input shaft (3) and from a longitudinal bore (5) in the pressure housing (2) on which a ring piston (7) is movably guided which axially delimits a pressure chamber (8). For sealing the ring piston (7), a seal (12) is provided which has sealing lips (13, 14) spread apart in a V-shape. In accordance with the invention, the sealing lips (13, 14) of the seal (12) have an asymmetrically configured cross sectional profile.
