CLUTCH UNIT

摘要

The invention relates to a clutch unit for transmitting torque between an engine and a transmission, equipped with at least one friction clutch, particularly for motor vehicles, with a pressure plate mounted inside a housing whereby being able to be displaced in a rotationally fixed but axially limited manner. A disc spring works between the housing and the pressure plate and enables the pressure plate to be pressed toward a clutch disc, which has friction linings and which can be squeezed between the pressure plate and a counter pressure plate. The clutch can be engaged and disengaged via actuating means and is additionally equipped with an adjusting device that automatically compensates for the wear of at least one of the friction linings of the clutch disc.
