Apparatus for detecting a parameter associated with the torque transmitted by a friction clutch, where the friction clutch has a clutch disk which is or can be connected for rotation in common to a power takeoff shaft. The apparatus includes a receiver area, which does not rotate with the clutch disk in the torque-transmitting state, and a code provided on the clutch disk. The code can be scanned by the receiver area and thus generates a sensor signal associated with transmitted torque.

Torque-detecting arrangement or wear detecting arrangement for a friction clutch

The actuation device includes a pressure medium force cylinder arrangement by means of which the friction clutch can be actuated via a release member. A measuring member of a measuring arrangement detecting an actual release is in tractive force driving engagement with an associated mating member whose position represents the actual release along a measurement path, which engagement is essentially free from play.

Actuation device for a friction clutch

An actuating installation for a friction clutch arranged in the drive line between a drive unit and a transmission. The installation having an actuating arrangement for the actuation of the friction clutch and a clutch-pedal arrangement, which is connected to the actuating arrangement and has a clutch pedal, which, in a first operating state, is actuable according to a force-travel characteristic of a first type. The actuating installation has a signaling and/or protection device, which is in operative connection with or is operatively integrated in the clutch-pedal arrangement, so that, after the response of the signaling and/or protection device to a second operating state, the clutch pedal can be actuated only according to a force/travel characteristic of a second type, which differs significantly from the force/travel characteristic of the first type in order thus to indicate the second operating state.

Actuating installation for pneumatic clutch actuation with overload protection and/or incorrect-operation protection

A clutch disk having a load torsion oscillation damper and an idling torsion oscillation damper with friction device. At least a part of the idling friction device has an inner toothing for rotationally fixed and play-free engagement with an outer toothing of an inner hub which is designed to be extended in the axial direction with a reduced diameter.
