BRACKET BARB PRESSURE PLATE STOP

摘要

A dry friction clutch for connecting a transmission with a flywheel of an engine is provided. The clutch includes a bracket (12) having a main body (14) axially spaced from an engine flywheel. The bracket is torsionally connected to the flywheel. The bracket has a generally U-shaped cross section with a main body connected with generally axially extending side walls (124). An axially movable pressure plate is torsionally connected with the bracket. The pressure plate (18) is axially movable within the bracket. A friction disc is provided having a connection with an input shaft of a transmission. The friction disc is axially positioned between the flywheel and the pressure plate. A release assembly is provided including a spring for urging the pressure plate toward the flywheel. The bracket side walls (124) have inward positioned barbs (134) to axially limit travel of the pressure plate (18).
