摘要:
A friction clutch assembly that is adapted particularly for use in a powertrain for a vehicle for controlling transfer torque to traction wheels for the vehicle. The torque capacity of the clutch assembly is modified by adjusting the effective clutch engaging force. Pressure balance springs oppose a primary clutch spring engaging force. The compression distance of the pressure balance springs is controlled to achieve an effective clutch engaging force that accommodates varying operating torque requirements.

A thrust plate assembly comprises a housing arrangement and a pressure plate arrangement which is coupled by at least one coupling arrangement to the housing arrangement so as to be movable in direction of an axis of rotation (A). It further comprises an axial path limiting arrangement for limiting the axial movement of the pressure plate arrangement with respect to the housing arrangement in an axial movement direction, this axial path limiting arrangement having, at the housing arrangement, at least one stop area which is contacted by a counter-stop area of the pressure plate arrangement associated with this stop area when the pressure plate arrangement assumes a predetermined relative position with respect to the housing arrangement.

A force-exerting element for a friction clutch includes a ring-like body with an outer edge area and an inner edge area. Openings provided in the body include a first group of openings open toward the outer edge area and a second group of openings open toward the inner edge area. The radial extent of circumferentially adjacent openings of the first group of opening and of the second group of openings overlap each other in the radial direction at the ends facing way from their associated edge areas or extend along approximately the same radial area. A radial support arrangement is arranged on the body to provide at least certain areas of support in the radial direction against the effects of centrifugal force.

A diaphragm spring for a friction clutch includes a ring-like body area and a plurality of spring tongues arranged at the inner edge in a row in a circumferential direction and extending radially inward from the body area. Openings are formed between adjacent spring tongues, each opening having a radially outer base area, at least one of the openings being limited in the circumferential direction by a wall area having a curvature which increases as the wall proceeds from the base area.

A transport-securing arrangement for a pressure plate assembly of a multi-disk clutch including a housing arrangement connectable to a flywheel, a pressure plate coupled to the housing arrangement for common rotation therewith, a stored-energy device having one side supported on the housing arrangement and another side supported on the pressure plate arrangement. The pressure plate assembly also includes an intermediate plate connected to the housing arrangement for common rotation therewith and a first clutch disk with a friction surface area positioned between the pressure plate and the intermediate plate. The transport-securing arrangement comprises a plurality of connecting elements, preferably bolt elements, for tightly connecting the intermediate plate to the housing arrangement.
摘要:
A pressure plate is held in a housing so as to be movable in direction of an axis of rotation (A) and is acted upon or can be acted upon by an energy accumulator. The pressure plate is coupled with the housing by at least one coupling arrangement which acts upon the pressure plate axially during torque transmission. The thrust plate assembly further comprises a lifting force generating arrangement for generating a lifting force for the pressure plate.
摘要:
A housing arrangement is coupled to a pressure plate arrangement by at least a first coupling arrangement so as to be relatively movable in direction of an axis of rotation (A). The first coupling arrangement comprises at least one coupling element which is secured at least in a first coupling area to a coupling portion of the pressure plate arrangement and is secured in a second coupling area to a coupling portion of the housing arrangement. The at least one coupling element of the at least first coupling arrangement comprises fiber material.

A diaphragm spring for a friction clutch includes a ring-like body area and a plurality of spring tongues arranged in a row in the circumferential direction and extending radially inward from the body area. A stiffening rib formed in at least one of the spring tongues extends radially into the body area.
摘要:
A thrust plate assembly comprises a housing having a rotational axis, a pressure plate arrangement which is movable axially in the housing arrangement, and at least one coupling arrangement by which the pressure plate is coupled with the housing for transmission of torque, wherein a force component acting axially upon the pressure plate can be generated by the at least one coupling arrangement when the pressure plate is acted upon by rotational force in a first direction with respect to the housing arrangement. The at least one coupling arrangement is connected in a first coupling area thereof with a first coupling portion of the pressure plate and is connected in a second coupling area thereof with a second coupling portion of the housing, wherein the first coupling area and the second coupling area of the at least one coupling arrangement are axially offset relative to one another. A support arrangement supports the pressure plate relative to the housing when the pressure plate is acted upon by rotational force with respect to the housing arrangement in a second direction opposed to the first direction accompanied by at least partial relieving of the at least one coupling arrangement.
摘要:
A pressure plate assembly for a friction clutch includes a housing arrangement and a pressure plate arrangement, which is held by at least one leaf spring arrangement with freedom of axial movement relative to the housing arrangement. The at least one leaf spring arrangement is fixed by a first attachment area to a first fastening area of the pressure plate arrangement and by a second attachment area to a second fastening area of the housing arrangement. The end area of the first fastening area and/or the second fastening area curves away from the minimum of one leaf spring arrangement, this end area being located in the area along which the at least one leaf spring arrangement extends.
