Abstract
The invention relates to a system for the hydraulic control (10) of a clutch (12), e.g. a motor vehicle clutch, comprising an upstream master cylinder (14) which is connected to a down-stream slave cylinder (18) by means of a conduit (16). The invention is characterized in that the system comprises a servo cylinder (30) which is disposed in the conduit (16) between the master cylinder (14) and the slave cylinder (18), said servo cylinder comprising at least one servo piston which can be subjected to an assist force produced by a servo device.
