Clutch device

A clutch device comprising:

• an outer disk carrier comprising a first plurality of axially running grooves, a first edge, and a first edge side;
• a plurality of outer disks, each including a first plurality of radial projections spaced apart from one another by depressions and projecting into the first plurality of axially running grooves;
• an inner disk carrier comprising a second plurality of axially running grooves, a second edge, and a second edge side;
• a plurality of inner disks, each including a second plurality of radial projections spaced apart from one another by depressions and projecting into the second plurality of axially running grooves;
• and,
• at least one lug:
• arranged between two grooves of the first plurality of axially running grooves and extending axially from the first edge side;
• or,
• arranged between two grooves of the second plurality of axially running grooves and extending axially from the second edge side.

A method for mounting an outer plate on an outer disk carrier or an inner plate on an inner disk carrier of a clutch device, comprising:

• providing:
• outer lamellae with projections and recesses on an outer circumference;
• or,
• inner lamellae with projections and recesses on an inner circumference;
• providing:
• an outer disk carrier comprising a first edge side, a plurality of grooves that open at the first edge side, and at least one axially extending lug between two grooves of the plurality of grooves;
• or,
• an inner disk carrier comprising a second edge side, a plurality of grooves that open at the second edge side, and at least one axially extending lug between two grooves of the plurality of grooves, wherein the at least one axially extending lug is for aligning the outer lamellae or the inner lamellae relative to the outer disk carrier or the inner disk carrier, respectively;
• installing the outer lamellae or the inner lamellae on the at least one axially extending lug such that the lug is arranged between two adjacent projections of the outer lamellae or the inner lamellae;
• and,
• installing the projections into the plurality of grooves.

A clutch disk carrier for a clutch device, comprising:

• a cylindrically shaped section formed from sheet metal and comprising a circumference;
• an edge side;
• a plurality of axially running grooves forming a quasi meandering groove structure in the cylindrically shaped section and open at the edge side;
• and,
• at least one lug extending axially from the edge side between two axially running grooves of the plurality of axially running grooves.
