Self-adjusting friction clutch, has latch rotationally driving pinion, where movement of latch through disk spring is performed by axial elastic element and pretension at spring is greater than that of latch with respect to spring

摘要

The clutch (1) has a friction lining (7) arranged between friction surfaces of a thrust plate (3) and a pressure plate (4), respectively. The lining is axially braced based on pretension of a disk spring (5) against the pressure plate, and an adjusting device (9) compensates axial wear of the lining. A latch (14) rotationally drives a pinion (12) during a closing movement of the pressure plate, where movement of the latch through the spring is performed by an axial elastic element (16) and pretension at the spring is greater than that of the latch with respect to the spring.
