Characteristics and Operation of the Electro-Hydraulic
Control Unit
The electro-hydraulic control unit can be divided into two distinct subassemblies although they are mounted on
a single base: the power group and the actuator.
The power group is responsible for transforming electrical energy into hydraulic energy through a DC electric
motor and the oil pump.
It also maintains stable hydraulic pressure required for system operation, where the working pressure ranges
from 40 to 60 bar at 20 °C.
The actuator group is responsible for transforming the hydraulic energy in motion through the gear shift and
selection pistons, where they act directly on the control rod (shift rail) of the mechanical transmission.
The electro-hydraulic control unit also controls the clutch actuator by a hydraulic tube connected to the clutch servo.
