ABSTRACT:
A clutch actuator has a housing with a load bearing element disposed within it. A force application element disposed within the housing applies force to the load bearing element. A stop assembly includes a retaining stopper between the load bearing element and the force application element. The stopper is dimensioned relative to a retainer and to the load bearing element to stop movement of said load bearing element relative to said retainer in the absence of a force application, and the stopper is dimensioned relative to said retainer and to said load bearing element to allow movement of said load bearing element relative to said retainer when force is applied against the load or when is force is released toward the load. One surface of the retainer, the stopper or the load bearing element is textured.
