A multidisk oil-bath clutch (1) having: a housing (4) mounted to rotate about a longitudinal axis (5) of rotation; at least one hub (6) mounted to rotate about the longitudinal axis of rotation and housed inside and coaxially with the housing; a number of drive disks (7) housed inside the housing and angularly integral with the housing or the hub; a number of driven disks (8) housed inside the housing, alternating with the drive disks, and angularly integral with the hub or the housing; at least one oil inlet (24) into the housing; at least one oil outlet (25) from the housing; and a feed circuit (38) for feeding pressurized oil to cool the disks and lubricate the rotating component parts through the housing from the inlet to the outlet, and in turn presenting: an oil tank (39); a circulating pump (40) that draws from the tank; an oil-cooling radiator (41) in series with the circulating pump; and a main conduit (42) that connects the delivery of the circulating pump to the inlet of the housing and is always open, whereby the feed circuit comprises a bypass conduit (43) with a bypass valve (44) for regulating oil flow along the bypass conduit while always leaving the main conduit (42) open. |
