FRICTION CLUTCH DRIVEN PLATE

摘要

A friction clutch driven plate comprises a hub assembly incorporating a hub (11) and two flanges (14 and 15) secured to the hub and extending therefrom. A friction member carrier (22) is arranged between the flanges and is capable of limited relative angular rotation with respect thereto. The carrier is coupled to the flange by damping springs (27). The carrier (22) has outwardly projecting teeth (35) which are engaged with inwardly directed teeth (36) of an annular friction member (34). These teeth provide a drive between the carrier and friction member. Axial constraining means on the driven plate for the friction member are constituted by outward extensions (39 and 41) of the two flanges (14 and 15). The connection between the teeth (35 and 36) allows transmission of drive from the friction member (34) to the carrier (22) without distorting the assembly by differential thermal expansion between the friction member and carrier.
