Abstract: A friction clutch includes a housing arrangement connectable to a drive element for rotation in common about an axis of rotation, a plurality of first friction disks connected to the housing arrangement such that the first friction disks are fixed with respect to rotation and axially movable relative to the housing arrangement, a hub rotatable about the axis of rotation relative to the housing arrangement and having a plurality of radially outward-projecting connection arms, a plurality of second friction disks defining engagement opening therein being closed on radial inner sides thereof, wherein the connection arms of the hub engage the engagement openings of the second friction disks such that the second friction disks are fixed with respect to rotation and axially movable relative to the hub, and a force-exerting arrangement exerting a force for urging the first friction elements and the second friction elements into contact with each other.

Abstract: A friction clutch includes a housing arrangement having an axis of rotation and an intermediate plate arrangement coupled to the housing arrangement for joint rotation therewith about an axis of rotation. The intermediate plate arrangement is arranged to transmit a pressure force and is preferably arranged between two frictional output members. The intermediate plate arrangement has two intermediate plate elements and an elastic prestressing arrangement therebetween. The two intermediate plate elements being displaceable with respect to one another counter to the action of the elastic prestressing arrangement.

Abstract: A friction clutch includes a housing arrangement connectable to a drive element for rotation in common about an axis of rotation, a pressure plate connected to the housing arrangement such that the pressure plate is fixed with respect to rotation relative to the housing arrangement and axially movable relative to the housing arrangement, a force-exerting arrangement acting on a first axial side of the pressure plate to produce the engaged state of the friction clutch, and a friction disk connected to the housing arrangement such that the friction disk is fixed with respect to rotation relative to the housing arrangement and is axially movable relative to the housing arrangement. The friction disk has a ring-shaped friction lining carrier on which the second axial side of the pressure plate acts in the engaged state. The friction lining carrier carries at least one friction lining element on the axial side facing away from the pressure plate.
