A clutch assembly comprises a flywheel 7, a clutch pressure plate unit 3 and a clutch plate 5 is secured to the output end 11 of a crankshaft 15 of an internal combustion engine by an adhesive bond between a region of the axially extending mating surfaces 33, 35 and/or a region of the radially extending mating surfaces 51, 53. The axially extending mating surfaces 33, 35 may be dimensioned to provide a sliding fit or press fit. Roll pins 63, for transmitting the grater part of the torque, are inserted into axially aligned bores 59, 61 in the output end 11 and the flywheel 7 respectively. A clamping screw 55 may be provided to axially secure the output end 11 and flywheel 7. The adhesive serves to seal the mating surfaces to prevent corrosion and in its uncured state, during mounting, acts as a lubricant. Flywheel 7 can be removed by using, for example, hydraulically actuated pulling devices acting through threaded bore 57. |
