Abstract

Screw connection for a non-shiftable multiple plate clutch with a clamping bolt, a bolt nut cooperating with the clamping bolt, and a clamping bushing which likewise cooperates with the clamping bolt. A seat between the clamping bolt and clamping bushing has at least one gradation such that a first cylindrical seat surface having a first diameter is formed at a first side of the respective gradation and a second cylindrical seat surface having a second diameter is formed at a second side of the respective gradation.

Claims (26)

1. A screw connection for a non-shiftable multiple plate clutch comprising:

a clamping bolt;

a bolt nut threadingly connectable to the clamping bolt;

a clamping bushing configured to be arranged on the clamping bolt; and

a seat between the clamping bolt and clamping bushing having at least one gradation such that a first cylindrical seat surface having a first diameter is formed at a first side of the respective gradation and a second cylindrical seat surface having a second diameter is formed at a second side of the respective gradation.

2. The screw connection according to claim 1 , wherein

the first cylindrical seat surface faces a clamping bolt head of the clamping bolt and the second cylindrical seat surface faces the bolt nut, and

the first diameter of the first cylindrical seat surface is greater than the second diameter of the second cylindrical seat surface.

3. The screw connection according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one gradation of the seat that separates the first cylindrical seat surface and second cylindrical seat surface is formed by gradations ( 11 , 12 ) of the clamping bushing and the clamping bolt.

4. The screw connection according to claim 1 , wherein an interference relative to the clamping bushing is formed at least in a region of the first cylindrical seat surface of the clamping bolt.

5. The screw connection according to claim 1 , wherein the clamping bushing is a plate stack support.

6. The screw connection according to claim 1 , wherein the clamping bushing has a radial projection at one axial end configured to support a plate stack.

7. A multiple plate clutch comprising:

a first clutch part;

a second clutch part; and

a plurality of screw connections for a non-shiftable connection of the first clutch part and the second clutch part, wherein each screw connection comprises:

a clamping bolt;

a bolt nut threadingly connected to the clamping bolt;

a clamping bushing arranged on the clamping bolt; and

a seat between the clamping bolt and clamping bushing having at least one gradation such that a first cylindrical seat surface having a first diameter is formed at a first side of the respective gradation and a second cylindrical seat surface having a second diameter is formed at a second side of the respective gradation.

8. The multiple plate clutch according to claim 7 ,

wherein the clamping bushing of each screw connection is arranged between a first flange of the first clutch part and a second flange of the second clutch part,

wherein the clamping bolt of each respective screw connection is supported by a clamping bolt head at the first flange of the first clutch part and the bolt nut of the respective screw connection is supported at one of the second flange of the second clutch part and the clamping bushing.

9. The multiple plate clutch according to claim 8 , wherein a plate stack of the multiple plate clutch is clamped between the first flange and the second flange, namely, between a radial projection of the clamping bushing formed at an axial end of the clamping bushing and a clamping disk which is positioned at an opposite axial end of the clamping bushing.

10. The multiple plate clutch according to claim 9 , wherein a plate stack of the multiple plate clutch is clamped a radial projection of the clamping bushing formed at an axial end of the clamping bushing and a clamping disk positioned at an opposite axial end of the clamping bushing.

11. The multiple plate clutch according to claim 1 , wherein the clamping disk faces the clamping bolt head of the clamping bolt and the radial projection of the clamping bushing faces the bolt nut.
