摘要： A friction clutch wherein a pressure plate is axially movably but non-rotatably coupled to a cover and is biased by a diaphragm spring to urge the friction linings of a clutch disc against a flywheel which is driven by the engine of a motor vehicle. The diaphragm spring is tiltable relative to a seat which is carried by the cover, and a second spring is provided to bias a portion of the seat against the diaphragm spring. The latter can be moved axially of the flywheel to compensate for wear upon the friction linings, particularly when the flywheel is idle or is driven at a relatively low speed. The unit which compensates for wear upon the friction linings is installed between the diaphragm spring and the cover, and its purpose is to ensure that the bias of the diaphragm spring upon the pressure plate in the engaged condition of the friction clutch remains at least nearly constant regardless of the extent of wear upon the friction linings and upon certain other parts, including (1) the diaphragm spring, (2) the pressure plate, (3) springs which form part of the clutch disc to urge two sets of friction linings axially and away from each other against the flywheel and the pressure plate, respectively, (4) leaf springs which connect the pressure plate to the cover, and (5) one or more springs which are active during certain stages of disengagement of the clutch.

摘要翻译： 一种摩擦离合器，其中压板可轴向移动但不可旋转地联接到盖并且被膜片弹簧偏压以将离合器盘的摩擦衬片推压抵靠由机动车辆的发动机驱动的飞轮。 隔膜弹簧相对于由盖承载的座可倾斜，并且设置第二弹簧以将座椅的一部分偏压抵靠隔膜弹簧。 后者可以在飞轮的轴向上移动以补偿摩擦衬片上的磨损，特别是当飞轮空转或以相对较低的速度被驱动时。 补偿摩擦衬垫上的磨损的单元安装在膜片弹簧和盖之间，其目的是确保在摩擦离合器的接合状态下膜片弹簧在压板上的偏压保持至少几乎恒定 无论摩擦衬里和某些其他部件磨损的程度如何，包括（1）膜片弹簧，（2）压板，（3）形成离合器盘的一部分的弹簧，以轴向推动两组摩擦衬片 并分别相对于飞轮和压板，（4）将压板连接到盖的板簧，以及（5）一个或多个在离合器的分离的某些阶段期间有活动的弹簧。
