Friction clutch for releasably connecting an output shaft to an output shaft and method for producing a pressure plate made of sheet metal material

摘要

The invention relates to a friction clutch having an axis of rotation for releasably connecting an output shaft to an output shaft which has at least one friction pack comprising at least the following components: an axially fixed counter-plate having a counter-plate friction surface; - An axially displaceable and the counter-plate rotationally fixed pressure plate, wherein the pressure plate has an outer edge, an inner edge and at least one support cams, wherein a Anpressplattenreibfläche between the outer edge and the inner edge is formed; and - at least one between counter-plate and pressure plate frictionally compressible friction disc, wherein the pressure plate is made of sheet metal material. The friction clutch is mainly characterized in that the at least one support cams is formed integrally with the pressure plate and is connected in the region of the Anpressplattenreibfläche with the pressure plate. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing a pressure plate made of sheet metal material. With the friction clutch proposed here, the use of a pressure plate with low production costs with a small space and good wear resistance is possible.
