Abstract

A clutch arrangement, in particular for use in the drive train of a motor vehicle, including a flywheel which is arranged on the drive side and is coupled via a spring arrangement to a secondary disk and is part, with said secondary disk, of a two-mass flywheel. The secondary disk has at least one centrifugal force pendulum, and a threaded sleeve is screwed with an outer thread into an inner thread of the secondary disk, and a clutch housing is screwed to an inner thread of the threaded sleeve via a fastener.

Claims (10)

1. A clutch arrangement, comprising a flywheel which is arranged on a drive side, coupled by a spring arrangement to a secondary disk that, with the secondary disk, forms part of a two-mass flywheel, the secondary disk carries at least one centrifugal force pendulum, a threaded sleeve is screwed via an external thread into an internal thread of the secondary disk, and a clutch housing is screwed with a fastener to an internal thread of the threaded sleeve.

2. The clutch arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one centrifugal force pendulum is pre-assembled as a module, and attached to the secondary disk.

3. The clutch arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one centrifugal force pendulum comprises a guide plate located on a secondary-disk side and a housing-side guide plate, between which a pendulum mass is arranged, the guide plates being arranged on both sides of a region of the threaded sleeve having an enlarged diameter.

4. The clutch arrangement as claimed in claim 3 , wherein at least one shear clamping stud is mounted in holes of the secondary disk and of the clutch housing and protrudes through holes of the secondary-side guide plate and of the housing-side guide plate.

5. The clutch arrangement as claimed in claim 3 , wherein at least one stop limits the pendulum movement of the pendulum mass.

6. The clutch arrangement as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the at least one stop is mounted in holes of the secondary-side guide plate and of the housing-side guide plate.

7. The clutch arrangement as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the at least one stop is a flat rivet with a stop-damping sheath.

8. The clutch arrangement as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the flat rivet is riveted to the housing-side guide plate.

9. The clutch arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the threaded sleeve has a hollow-cylindrical flange which protrudes into a hole of the clutch housing.

10. The clutch arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a primary cover of the drive-side flywheel has a hollow-cylindrical region which covers at least parts of the centrifugal force pendulum in an axial direction to form a rupture protection arrangement.
