Pressure plate assembly has support protrusion bearing upon pressure plate or housing via support arrangement comprising sliding elements each having two slide faces inclined relative to plane orthogonal to rotational axis

摘要

The pressure plate assembly comprises a pressure plate (24) movable inside a housing (22), and a support area (42,44) is provided on the casing or on the pressure plate and in relation to which a support protrusion (46) bears upon the pressure plate or housing via a support arrangement (60) to create force components axially loading the pressure plate during torque transmission. The support arrangement comprises sliding elements (52,54) each having two slide faces (56,58) which are inclined relative to a plane (E) orthogonal to the rotational axis (A).
