Abstract:
A pressure plate component group for a motor vehicle friction clutch having a clutch disk with friction linings, consisting essentially of:a housing attachable to a flywheel for common rotation around a rotational axis;a pressure plate arranged in the housing in a rotation-proof manner and axially movable relative to the housing,the pressure plate having a friction surface;an energy storage device supported between the housing and the pressure plate so as to press the pressure plate toward a first side of the housing;a wear compensation device arranged in a pressure path of the energy storage device, the wear compensation device having at least one compensation element that is prestressed and movable for wear compensation; andat least one manually operable wear readjustment device having an operating section and readjustment means arranged to interact with the wear compensation device for compensating for wear that occurs during clutch operation on the friction linings of the clutch disk which are clampable between the pressure plate and the flywheel.
