Abstract:
The invention relates to friction clutch for coupling a drive shaft of a motor vehicle to at least one transmission input shaft of a motor vehicle transmission, said friction clutch comprising a clutch cover, a counter pressure plate which can be moved axially with respect the friction clutch, a pressure plate which can be moved axially with respect to the counter pressure plate for frictionally pressing a clutch disk between the counter pressure plate and the pressure plate and an adjusting device supported on the counter pressure plate for adjusting a mechanical wear error state between the pressure plate and the counter pressure plate. The adjusting device comprises a ramp ring which can be adjusted in the peripheral direction, said ramp ring being provided with several ramps protruding in the axial direction, and an adjusting unit engaging on the ramp ring for rotating the ramp ring, and said adjusting unit is secured to the counter pressure plate.
Abstract:
L'invention concerne un ensemble (1) pour un dispositif d'embrayage, notamment pour véhicule automobile, comportant un couvercle (2) présentant un axe (X), un plateau de pression (8) mobile par rapport au couvercle (2) selon ledit axe (X) et actionné par un diaphragme (9) intercalé axialement entre le couvercle (2) et le plateau de pression (8), le diaphragme (9) étant mobile entre position embrayée et une position débrayée, une rondelle d'assistance (29) élastiquement déformable, intercalée axialement entre le couvercle (2) et le diaphragme (9) et apte à exercer un effort axial variable en fonction de la position du diaphragme (9), caractérisé en ce que la rondelle d'assistance (29) est apte à venir axialement en appui sur une entretoise (24) fixe par rapport au couvercle (2) de façon à maintenir ladite rondelle d'assistance (29) en appui contre le couvercle (2) en position débrayée du diaphragme (9).
Abstract:
A friction clutch for a motor vehicle, the clutch has a pressure plate (11) biased towards an associated flywheel (12) by a diaphragm spring (13), a clutch drive disc (14) for clamping between the pressure plate and the associated flywheel, and a ramp type wear adjuster (15) located in the thrust path between the diaphragm spring and the pressure plate to compensate for wear of the drive disc. The wear adjuster comprising a first ramp means (in the form of ring (16)) nearest to the pressure plate and a second ramp means (in the form of ring (17)) in contact with the first ramp means but further away from the pressure plate and also in contact with the diaphragm spring, the first and second ramp means being relatively rotatable about the axis of rotation of the pressure plate by an adjuster spring means (18) to increase the combined effective thickness of the ramp means and hence maintain the travel of the diaphragm spring substantially constant as the clutch disc wears. The wear adjuster also including a wear sensor in the form of pin means (19) carried in bore means (20) in the pressure plate and held relative to the pressure plate by a friction grip, one end of the pin means engaging the flywheel when the clutch is engaged and the other end of the pin means having a first abutment which contacts a hold down member connected with the second ramp means. Lift spring means (8) are supported on a second abutment on the pin means and tending to bias the hold down member and thus the second ramp means away from the first ramp means and towards the first abutment. Thus as the clutch disc (14) wears the pin means (19) is pushed through the bore means to load the lift spring means so that, after sufficient wear has occurred, when the clutch is released, the loading of the lift spring means due to clutch disc wear biases the ramp means apart to allow a gap to occur between the first and second ramp means which is dependent on clutch disc wear. Thus the adjuster spring means can rotate the two ramp means relative to each other and hence increase the combined effective thickness of the ramp means to maintain the position and inclination angle of the diaphragm spring substantially constant as the clutch disc wears.
Abstract:
A self-adjusting clutch mechanism has a pressure plate, a wear compensation plate, a wear sensor adjusting plate, a wear sensor, a clutch cover, a first screw thread, and a second screw thread. The mechanism on the clutch pressure plate can keep clutch pedal load and clutch clamp load constant.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a readjusting device (1) for a friction clutch, comprising at least the following components: a drive spindle, having a spindle axis, a spindle drive oriented along the spindle axis, a drive pinion for rotating the drive spindle about the spindle axis, and a spindle nut on the spindle drive, wherein the spindle nut mounted on the spindle drive performs a translational motion along the spindle axis as a result of a rotation of the spindle drive; a readjusting ring, which can be rotated about an axis of rotation and which has at least one ramp for compensating a change of a return displacement of a pressure plate caused by wear, wherein the axis of rotation is oriented transversely to the spindle axis in the assembly; a flexurally elastic tension element for connecting the spindle nut to the readjusting ring, wherein a readjusting force can be applied to the readjusting ring at an angle to the spindle axis by means of the tension element. The readjusting device according to the invention allows stable and robust readjustment integrated in a friction clutch with minimal installation space, which friction clutch can be used as an isolating clutch or connecting clutch within an electric drive for an internal combustion engine.
