Friction clutch for a motor vehicle comprises a support spring exerting a force on a pressure plate which supports the force exerted by the actuating organ on the pressure plate

摘要

Friction clutch comprises a support spring (30) exerting via pedal travel of the friction clutch at least indirectly a force on a pressure plate (17), which supports the force exerted by the actuating organ on the pressure plate and whose base point is indirectly adjustable via an adjusting device (24). An Independent claim is also included for a clutch device comprising the above friction clutch and an automated operating organ. Preferred Features: The force exerted by the support spring in the region of a closed position (pedal travel) of the clutch is approximately zero and increases in the direction of an open position of the clutch. The support spring in the closed position of the clutch assumes an unstable equilibrium.
