Abstract:
1. A clutch disk arrangement for a multi-disk clutch, comprising: a hub having an axis of rotation; a torsional vibration damper arrangement connected to said hub; a plurality of friction lining assemblies connected to said hub by said torsional vibration damper arrangement, wherein said torsional vibration damper arrangement comprises a central disk element connected to said hub and cover disk elements arranged on opposing sides of said central disk element, said cover disk elements being fixedly connected to each other, said torsional vibration damper arrangement further comprising a damper element arrangement arranged between said central disk element and said cover disk elements for transmitting torque therebetween; and a driver formation on one of said cover disk elements and an opposing driver formation on at least one of said friction lining assemblies engaging said driver formation such that said at least one of said friction lining assemblies is fixed with respect to rotation relative to said cover disk elements and such that said at least one of said friction lining assemblies is axially displaceable in a direction parallel to said axis of rotation relative to said cover disk elements; the opposing driver formation defines opposing driver openings and said driver formation comprises a plurality of driver projections engaging said opposing driver openings, wherein said driver formation is a separately formed ring like driver element attached to said one of said cover disc elements by one of welding or shaping, wherein said driver projections extend in the form of essentially axially oriented driver projections and radially outward-extending connecting projections of the second cover disc element engage between these driver projections.
