  • Patent number: 9562571
    Abstract: Double clutch for coupling a drive shaft of a motor to a transmission shaft of a transmission in a vehicle having a first friction clutch for frictionally clamping a first clutch disc couplable to the transmission shaft between a first pressure plate and a first counter-plate, the first pressure plate displaceable in an axial direction to close the first friction clutch, a second friction clutch for frictionally clamping a second clutch disc couplable to an accessory power take-off between a second pressure plate and a second counter-plate, the second pressure plate displaceable in the axial direction to close the second friction clutch, a first actuating element configured to displace the first pressure plate, and, a second actuating element configured to engage a pressure ring connected to the second pressure plate to displace the second pressure plate, wherein the second actuating element is pre-loaded by at least one wire load ring.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9546698
    Abstract: A dual clutch for coupling an engine drive shaft with a transmission shaft and/or an auxiliary power take-off. A first friction clutch presses a first clutch plate that is couplable with the transmission shaft between a first contact plate, displaceable in an axial direction to engage the first friction clutch and a first counter plate. A second friction clutch presses a second clutch plate that is couplable with the auxiliary power take-off between a second contact plate, displaceable in the axial direction to engage the second friction clutch and a second counter plate. First and second actuating elements move the first and second contact plates; respectively. The second contact plate is connected to a thrust ring connected to the second actuating element to transfer displacing movement.
