Claims6
A pressure force transmission plate for a friction clutch, comprising a ring-like plate body having first and second axial sides with respect to a plate axis of rotation A, said plate body defining a force transmission surface on said first axial side, wherein said force transmission surface comprises a curved surface in a radial region on said first axial side, said curved surface comprising one of a convex and a concave curved surface.
A friction clutch, comprising:
- a housing arrangement rotatable about an axis of rotation and connectable to a drive member;
- a pressure plate fixedly connected to said housing arrangement with respect to rotation and displaceable relative to said housing arrangement in the direction of the axis of rotation A;
- and
- a force accumulator supported with respect to said housing arrangement for exerting a force on said pressure plate, said pressure plate defining a pressure force transmission surface for transmitting the force received from the force accumulator, said pressure force transmission surface comprising a curved surface in a radial region thereof, said curved surface comprising one of a convex and a concave curved surface.
A friction clutch, comprising:
- a housing arrangement rotatable about an axis of rotation and connectable to a drive member;
- a pressure plate fixedly connected to said housing arrangement with respect to rotation and displaceable relative to said housing arrangement in the direction of the axis of rotation A;
- a force accumulator supported with respect to said housing arrangement for exerting a force on said pressure plate, said pressure plate having a first pressure force transmission surface for transmitting the force received from the force accumulator;
- and
- an intermediate plate coupled to said housing arrangement for joint rotation therewith, said intermediate plate having a second force transmission surface which movable into pressure force transmission contact with said first force transmission surface of said pressure plate, said second force transmission surface being intended for absorbing a pressure force from said pressure plate, at least one of said first and second force transmission surfaces comprising a curved surface in a radial region thereof, said curved surface comprising one of a convex and a concave curved surface.
