Concentric slave cylinders are fitted within the bell housing where the hydraulic cylinder encloses the input shaft. They are easy to fit and automatically adjust the travel of the diaphragm spring during clutch wear. The housings are manufactured almost exclusively from plastic resistant to high temperatures and now only rarely from aluminum.Concentric Slave Cylinders combine releaser and slave cylinders in one compact unit and outclass mechanical and semi-hydraulic systems, with clear advantages in design, assembly, maintenance and operation.
