Abstract:
1. A friction clutch, comprising: a traction mode and power take-off; a cup spring; a pressure plate; an opposing pressure plate; wherein the pressure plate is axially pre-stressed, applying a load to the cup spring, against the opposing pressure plate; a housing; a clutch plate, wherein the opposing pressure plate is connected to the housing while tensioning friction linings of the clutch plate, wherein the pressure plate is displaceable against the effect of the cup spring by means of a plurality of pressure levers distributed along the periphery that are rotatably arranged by means of a first plurality of pivot joints on a plurality of knee levers that are axially stressed by a disengaging mechanism and have a specifiable axial distance relative to the disengaging mechanism, and means for adjusting the specifiable axial distance; and, an automatic adjusting device disposed between the pressure levers and the pressure plate in series with the means.
