Abstract
A clutch pack for a clutch in a drive train of a motor vehicle includes an axis defining an axial direction and a disk, rotatable about the axis, for contacting a counter-disk to transfer a torque. The disk includes a main body with a contact region for absorbing torque from or transferring a torque to the counter-disk, a toothed region for torque-transmitting contact with a disk carrier, and a region of specific elastic softness in the axial direction disposed between the contact region and the toothed region. In an example embodiment, the region of specific elastic softness in the axial direction is a steel sheet spring region.
