1. Multiple-plate clutch comprising a first set of plates and a second set of plates (12), wherein one of the first and second set of plates is a set of internal plates and the other is a set of external plates, the plates of each set being mounted on a respective plate carrier so that they are axially displaceable but not rotatable relative to the respective plate carrier, wherein the first set is provided with separating means, which;
is extending axially over all of the plates of at least the first set of plates and is arranged in between each pair of adjacent plates of at least the first set of plates and is provided such that the separating means is adapted to wedge in between the respective adjacent plates, the separating means is provided with force enhancement means, which is adding a radial force to the separating means, wherein the force enhancement means comprises a lever arm, acting upon the separating means and which is provided with a first flyweight, wherein the lever arm is provided upon a pivot pin (33, 43) arranged upon the plate carrier, corresponding to one of the plate sets, whereby the first flyweight is arranged upon the lever arm at a distance from the pivot pin and the separating means, such that centrifugal force acting upon the flyweight generates a separation force wedging the separating means in between respective adjacent plates. |
