CLUTCH UNIT

摘要

The invention relates to a clutch unit which consists of at least one friction clutch comprising a pressure disk, which is joined to the housing in a rotationally fixed manner but can be displaced in an axially limited manner. A lever system (5, 7), which can pivot in an axial direction, is arranged between the housing and the pressure disk and can be impinged upon by an actuation device in order to close the clutch. An adjusting device (13), which at least partially compensates at least the wear and tear of the friction lining (14) of the clutch device (13), engages between the lever system and the housing. Also, the lever system is axially supported on the housing by an adjusting ring (12) which can rotate in relation to the housing and can be impinged upon in an axial manner in the direction of the adjusting ring by spring elements (10, 21). Said spring elements produce an axially resulting supporting force which is in the opposite axial direction to the clutch closing pressure which can be applied to the lever system, and a force-path characteristic, which reduces at least in the working area wherein the spring elements are deformed for the at least partial wear and tear compensation, is produced.
