Abstract

The invention relates to a clutch disk for a friction clutch in which a load and an idling system are provided. The idling system is bridged over by teeth (2a, 4) in the load system. A load friction disk (23) which simultaneously makes direct contact with one (11) of the two covering plates as well as the associated hub disk (12) is provided for producing a two-staged frictional force in the idling system. Owing to different material constitutions of the load friction disk (23) on opposing sides or owing to different material of the load friction disk (23) and the hub disk (12) it is possible to produce a jump in the frictional force. The load friction disk (23) is controlled primarily by stop edges, and additional control can be provided by a spring for the idling range, which is used after a predetermined angle of rotation.
