    摘要: A shift element (1) for an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle includes a first (2) and a second shift-element half (3). Each shift-element half includes a disk carrier (4, 5) and multiple essentially annular disks (11-14, 51-54). Multiple disks (11, 12) of the disk carrier (4) of at least one shift-element half (2) are designed in such a way that the disks have a defined imbalance. The disks (11, 12) having the defined imbalance are arranged or rotated relative to each other, with consideration for the size of the particular imbalance, in such a way that, in sum, the imbalances of the disks (11, 12) at least approximately cancel each other out and therefore, overall, this shift-element half (2) has no imbalance or at least a clearly reduced imbalance.

    摘要: A friction clutch (1) with an inner ring (2) arranged about a rotary axis (d) and an outer ring (3) arranged coaxially in reference thereto, as well as an elastic intermediate ring (3) arranged between these two in a radially limited fashion, with the inner ring (2) and the intermediate ring (4) resting on each other via a ramp arrangement (9) arranged and acting bi-directionally in the circumferential direction. In order to embody the clutch (1) easily and cost-effectively, segments (13) pointing radially outwardly and arranged distributed over the perimeter form in connection with a radial displacement of the intermediate rings (4) relative to the outer ring (3) a positive connection (22) in the circumferential direction with the radial displacement of the intermediate ring (4) being provided with a ramp arrangement (12) effective in the axial direction and switched by an axial displacement of the inner ring (2) in reference to the intermediate ring (4).

    摘要: A clutch disk (10) for a motor vehicle includes at least two axially opposed friction linings (18), a lining spring (16) and a drive carrier disk (14), wherein the lining spring (16) has at least one fastening portion (16a), a supporting portion (16b) and a plurality of spring segments (16c) arranged adjacent to one another in circumferential direction, and the spring segments (16c) are arranged radially outside at the supporting portion (16b) of the lining spring (16), and the fastening portion (16a) is arranged radially inside at the supporting portion (16b).

    摘要: A dual gain friction clutch is adapted to transmit an operational range of torques from a drive member to a driven member. The dual gain friction clutch incorporates a first friction clutch pack and a second friction clutch pack, the pack being axially aligned and adapted to address one of two segments of the operational range of torques. The clutch further includes a spring-loaded skate detent unit configured to control transition between the two segments of operational ranges of torques. Each friction clutch pack may include identical respective friction discs coupled to the drive member and respective pressure plates coupled to the driven member for selectively providing torque control within either of the lower and higher segments of the operational ranges of torques. The first clutch pack is configured to operate alone and independently of the second clutch pack during the lower segment of operational range of torques while and both friction clutch packs are configured to operate as a single combined friction clutch unit during the higher segment of operational range of torques.
