Abstract:
An installation apparatus for a coupling device having a drive, a driver that acts on the drive, a flywheel mass which faces the drive and is operatively connected to the driver so that the flywheel mass and the driver rotate together, and a holder provided on the flywheel mass so as to face the driver, the holder being provided with a tooth system, the driver having an axial attachment which is likewise provided with a tooth system on a side facing the holder, the tooth system of the driver having at least one tooth that engages in a tooth gap between each two teeth of the tooth system of the holder so that teeth of at least one of the two tooth systems are positioned opposite a respective other of the two tooth systems with radial prestressing, the installation apparatus being useable to make or break an engagement between the tooth systems in which case the tooth systems engage at least radially in one another and the tooth system located radially on the inside is prestressed radially outward against the tooth system located radially on the outside, the component which has the tooth system located radially on the inside can be elastically deformed radially at least in a region of its tooth system, the installation apparatus comprising: two ring elements which are fittable so that they can rotate on the component which has the tooth system located radially on the inside, the ring elements having a deformation formation by means of which, when the ring elements rotate about an axis of rotation, radial positioning of the component, which has the tooth system located radially on the inside, can be varied in a region of the tooth system located radially on the inside, the two ring elements having deformation inclines which in each case run in opposite directions to one another, one of each tooth and each group of teeth of the tooth system located radially on the inside being assigned a pair formed from a deformation incline of each ring element.
