Emergency Clutch Release ECR
Emergency Clutch Release ECR
About
The Emergency Clutch Release is designed to work as a standalone installation to enable actuation of a vehicle clutch. It has been approved by FIA and ACO for use in LMP vehicles as an emergency neutral device capable of disconnecting vehicle drive-trains.
The ECR requires an external air source and a simple DC power supply.
More Details
The driver retains full control over the clutch with the standard clutch pedal.
When activated, the ECR applies pressure to the clutch slave cylinder for as long as power is supplied to the unit. One power is removed, the unit removes pressure and returns clutch control to the driver. Due to the standalone nature of the unit, it does not influence normal clutch operation. It is supplied with a master cylinder, the size of which is calculated based on the release load and travel of the clutch fitted to the car. This needs to be calculated and specified to Shiftec.
