International Classification:

F16D 13/00

US Classification:

192 892

Abstract:

A pressure plate assembly for a friction clutch with automatic wear compensation, including a housing which can be attached to a flywheel for rotation in common; a pressure plate installed in the housing and movable axially with respect to the housing; and an energy storage device supported against the housing and the pressure plate and exerting a force along a support path between the energy storage device and the pressure plate. A wear take-up device installed in the support path includes a wear take-up element which is preloaded to move in a wear take-up direction. An anti-reset device includes at least one clamping element which can be blocked to generate clamping contact with the wear take-up element, thereby preventing movement of the wear take-up element relative to the pressure plate in a direction opposite to the wear take-up direction.
