  • Publication number: 20080185255
    Abstract: A plate clutch for motor vehicles especially motorcycles, which are arranged to ensure its pressure plate is centered, to ensure that a release force is concentrically applied, and to permit use of a spring type which reduces clutch release force and thereby improves operator comfort. The plate clutch includes a primary gear driven by an engine and rotatably mounted on a clutch shaft, a clutch cage connected to the primary gear and corresponding driver connected to the clutch shaft, a pressure plate splined to the driver, a pressure pad rigidly connected to the pressure plate, a belleville spring supported on the driver and on the pressure pad, annular clutch plates, stacked between the pressure plate and the driver, a throwout bearing which transfers an axial release force to the pressure plate, and a pressure mushroom inserted into the internal ring of the throwout bearing and lying against it with an annular flange.
