  • Vehicle plate clutch
    Patent number: 4730713
    Abstract: In a plate clutch, an annular cylinder chamber with a moveable annular cylinder portion is located in a transition region between a radial flange and a cylindrical external plate carrier integral with the radial flange. The position of the annular cylinder portion is fixed in the radial and axial directions relative to the external plate carrier by the flange which fixes the annular cylinder in one axial direction of the clutch axis and by means of a circlip in the other axial direction of the clutch axis. In order to improve the sealing of the working pressure chamber enclosed by the annular cylinder portion, the annular cylinder is supported in the radial directions by means of a ring seal, so that it can move and be also elastically carried on the external plate carrier.
