    摘要: A friction clutch mechanism includes a diaphragm spring, a pressure plate having a peripheral fulcrum acting against a first face of the diaphragm spring, and a pair of axially opposed intermediate fulcrums supported by a clutch cover and acting on the opposite faces of the diaphragm spring along a radially intermediate portion thereof. The friction clutch mechanism has an additional elastic element, operatively associated with a first intermediate fulcrum of the pair of axially opposed intermediate fulcrums, and axially and elastically compressible in response to a deflection of the diaphragm spring towards an open friction condition. The additional elastic element has a radially innermost annular portion resting on one or more bearing surfaces supported by the clutch cover, and a radially outermost annular portion that cantilevers and has a protrusion circumferentially extended and axially projecting towards the first face of the diaphragm spring to serve as the first intermediate fulcrum.

    摘要: A friction clutch includes a housing, an axially displaceable pressure plate, a lever system for displacing the pressure plate, a ramp system arranged between the pressure plate and the lever system, a torsion device for rotating the ramp system, and a control device. The torsion device has a spindle to drive the ramp system and a drive gear with an external profile. The control device has a fastening portion fixed to the housing and a pawl with a plurality of tongues to forming a positive interlock. At least one tongue is arranged to engage the external profile. Each tongue is separated from another tongue by a gap extending in the axial direction. At least one gap, starting from a tip of the tongue, extends in the axial direction 30% or less of a minimum distance between the tip and the fastening portion.

    摘要: A rotation locking device includes a locking module and at least one engaging member. The at least one engaging member is rotatably coupled to the locking module. The locking module is configured to engaging and disengage the at least one engaging member, thereby refraining the at least one engaging member from rotating relative to the locking module.
