Abstract

An outer plate carrier, including a cup-shaped embodied carrier plate ( 110 ) comprising a cylinder-shell shaped cylindrical section ( 130 ) and a circular-disk shaped bottom section ( 120 ). The bottom section ( 120 ) of the carrier plate ( 110 ) carries a cup-shaped hub section ( 140 ), arranged centrally. The cup-shaped hub section includes a cylindrical-shell shaped hub jacket ( 160 ) and a circular-disk shaped hub bottom ( 150 ). The hub bottom ( 150 ) has a smaller diameter than the bottom section ( 120 ) of the carrier plate ( 110 ). The hub bottom ( 150 ) is continuous and embodied in one piece with the carrier plate ( 110 ).

Claims (19)

1. An outer plate carrier, comprising a cup-shaped carrier plate ( 110 ) comprising a cylinder-shell shaped cylindrical section ( 130 ) and a circular-disk shaped bottom section ( 120 ), wherein:

the bottom section ( 120 ) of the carrier plate ( 110 ) carries a cup-shaped hub section ( 140 ), arranged centrally;

the cup-shaped hub section includes a cylindrical-shell shaped hub jacket ( 160 ) and a circular-disk shaped hub bottom ( 150 );

the hub bottom ( 150 ) has a smaller diameter than the bottom section ( 120 ) of the carrier plate ( 110 ); and,

the hub bottom ( 150 ) is continuous and embodied in one piece with the carrier plate ( 110 ).

2. The outer plate carrier according to claim 1 , wherein:

a cylindrical-shell shaped geared sheath ( 200 , 1200 ) is arranged radially outwardly on the hub jacket ( 160 ); and,

the geared sheath ( 200 , 1200 ) comprises an outer gearing ( 210 , 1210 ) radially outwardly.

3. The outer plate carrier according to claim 2 , wherein the geared sheath ( 200 ) is welded to the hub jacket ( 160 ) and an axial stop ( 170 ) of the bottom section ( 120 ) of the carrier plate ( 110 ).

4. The outer plate carrier according to claim 2 , wherein the geared sheath ( 200 ) is welded to the hub jacket ( 160 ) or an axial stop ( 170 ) of the bottom section ( 120 ) of the carrier plate ( 110 ).

5. The outer plate carrier according to claim 2 , wherein the geared sheath ( 1200 ) comprises an inner gearing ( 1220 ) radially inwardly with the geared sheath ( 1200 ) and connected to the hub jacket ( 160 ) by way of caulking.

6. The outer plate carrier according to claim 5 , wherein the geared sheath ( 1200 ) comprises at its end facing the bottom section ( 120 ) radially inwardly a chip chamber ( 1230 ) embodied as a circumferential recess.

7. The outer plate carrier according to claim 2 , wherein the outer gearing ( 210 , 1210 ) of the geared sheath ( 200 , 1200 ) is rolled.

8. The outer plate carrier according to claim 2 , wherein the outer gearing ( 210 , 1210 ) of the geared sheath ( 200 , 1200 ) is axially extruded.

9. The outer plate carrier according to claim 2 , wherein the geared sheath ( 200 , 1200 ) has greater hardness than the carrier plate ( 110 ).

10. The outer plate carrier according to claim 2 , wherein:

the carrier plate ( 110 ) comprises a cylinder-shell shaped sealing area ( 180 ) in a transition area between the bottom section ( 120 ) and the hub section ( 140 ); and,

the cylinder-shell shaped sealing sheath ( 300 ) is pressed radially outwardly onto the sealing area ( 180 ).

11. The outer plate carrier according to claim 2 , wherein the outer plate carrier ( 100 , 1100 ) is embodied for the use in hydraulic clutches of a transmission of a motor vehicle.
