Release assembly for a clutch pressure plate and actuator therefor

摘要

The compact dry plate clutch system has axial movement of a throw-out bearing (5) transmitted to a clutch spring (2) by radial thrust elements (9) which are displaced by a profiled thrust end (10) of the bearing, generating a large amount of radial movement from a compact axial drive. The radial thrust elements operate on the tilt action spring to provide an axial drive for the thrust ring.
