CLUTCH BY WIRE HAVING MULTIPLE STARTER-GENERATOR MEANS

摘要

A clutch, comprising a clutch disk (12), a calliper means (10) which carries opposite friction pads (24, 25) between which the clutch disc (12) is accommodated, said clutch disc (12) and calliper means (10) each being connected to one of an ingoing (9) and an outgoing (13) member, biasing means (32) for urging the opposite friction pads (24, 25) into frictional engagement with the clutch disc (12), motor means (2, 3) as well as screw actuation means (17-22) which are driveable by the motor means (2, 3) for displacing the opposite friction pads (24, 25) with respect to each other against the biasing force exerted by the biasing means (32), characterized in that the screw actuation means comprise two screw/nut actuators (17-22) with opposite screw threads, which screw/nut actuators (17-22) are coaxial to the clutch disc (12), one of the nut (17, 18) and screw (21, 22) of each actuator being rotatably supported with respect to either the ingoing (9) or the outgoing (13) member, and the other of said nut (17, 18) and screw (21, 22) of each actuator engaging the opposite friction pads (24, 25), the motor means (2, 3) comprising two motors which each are coaxial to the clutch disc (12) and which are driveably connected to a respective screw/nut actuator (17-22).
