Clutch for a Motor Vehicle
In a clutch for a motor vehicle comprising a first ( 1 ) and a second shaft ( 4 ), a first ( 2 ) and a second ( 11 ) plate, which are connected in a manner fixed against relative rotation to the first shaft ( 1 ) and of which the first plate ( 8 ) has a higher thermal capacity than the second plate ( 11 ) and of which at least one plate ( 11 ) is axially displaceable in order to clamp a clutch disc ( 7 ), which is connected in a manner fixed against relative rotation to the second shaft ( 4 ) and which is provided on both sides with a wear layer ( 8, 9 ), between the two plates ( 8, 11 ), the wear layer ( 9 ) on the side facing the second plate ( 11 ) is thicker than the wear layer ( 8 ) on the side facing the first plate ( 2 ).
1 . A clutch for a motor vehicle, comprising:
a first and a second shaft; and
a first and a second plate connected in a manner fixed against relative rotation to the first shaft and of which the first plate has a higher thermal capacity than the second plate,
wherein at least one of the first and second plates is axially displaceable in order to clamp a clutch disc connected in a manner fixed against relative rotation to the second shaft and which is provided on both sides with a wear layer between the two plates, and
wherein the wear layer on the side facing the second plate is thicker than the wear layer on the side facing the first plate.
2 . The clutch according to claim 1 , wherein the first plate is axially fixed.
3 . The clutch according to claim 1 , wherein the wear layer is thicker by at least a factor of about 1.2 on the side facing the second plate than on the side facing the first plate.
4 . The clutch according to claim 1 , wherein the wear layer is thicker by at most a factor of about 1.7 on the side facing the second plate than on the side facing the first plate.
5 . (canceled)
