DISC CLUTCH ASSEMBLY WITH SEPARATING DEVICE

摘要

A disc clutch assembly is provided that includes first and second sets of generally annular plates spaced alternately with one another. The plates of the first set have a friction interface. The first and second sets of plates are selectively engagable with one another at the friction interface for transferring torque loads. Separating devices are in contact with the plates radially inward of the friction interface. The separating devices are configured to bias the respective ones of the first and second sets of plates apart from one another when not selectively engaged.
