The twin-clutch assembly has two clutch zones with pressure plates working in matching and opposing force and engagement directions to prevent an overload on the crankshaft bearings

摘要

The twin-clutch assembly has two operating forces (F1,F2) which work in opposite directions. The first clutch zone (12) has a pressure plate (42) to engage it in one direction (R1), and the second clutch zone (14) has a pressure plate (44) to engage it, working in a second and opposite direction (R2). The opposing force directions (F1,F2) match the opposing engagement directions (R1,R2).
