<p>A wet disc clutch which comprises, between each outer disc (1a to 1d) and each inner disc (4a to 4c) expanding elements (20) which in the engaged state of the clutch are tensioned when the discs are pressed together. When the clutch is disengaged, the expanding elements move the individual inner discs (4a to 4c) away from the outer discs (1a to 1d) until the gaps between all disc surfaces are sufficiently wide in order to present entrainment of the facing discs by inner friction of the clutch liquid. The expanding elements are designed as cup-springs, the outer edges of which are linked with the outer discs and the inner edges of which are applied against the inner discs. In the disengaged state of the clutch the cup-springs rotate with the outer discs and slide over the inner discs.</p> |
