ABSTRACT:
A self-adjusting clutch and input shaft brake actuator system is provided for consistent actuation of the input shaft brake after complete disengagement of the master clutch. A dual piston arrangement is fluidly coupled and includes an oil bypass path for adjusting the fluid coupling while the master clutch is engaged. The oil bypass path allows adjustment of the master clutch release tube by changing its position relative to the input shaft brake. This compensates for the wearing of the friction material in the master clutch while maintaining a constant travel for master clutch disengagement and input shaft brake application resulting in consistent application of the input shaft brake upon disengagement of the master clutch.
