Dry clutch mechanism for transferring torque between engine and dual-clutch automatic gear box of motor vehicle, has receiving plate centered by rolling bearing carried by primary shaft to recapture axial efforts of clutch release bearing

摘要

The mechanism has a receiving plate (1) receiving a friction disk (13) and connected to a damper fly-wheel (11) fixed on a drive motor's crankshaft. An elastic diaphragm (14) acts on a pressure plate (6) under the control of a clutch release bearing (17) for locking and releasing the disk between and from the plates. The receiving plate is centered by a retaining and centering rolling bearing (2) carried by a primary hollow transmission shaft (3) to recapture axial efforts of the clutch release bearing. An intermediate sleeve (22) is inserted between the rolling bearing and the primary shaft.
