Abstract
An adjustment device () for a friction clutch (), including at least the following components: a rotatable driving device (); an adjustment spindle () having an axial direction, which is connected to the driving device in a rotationally fixed manner; a spindle nut (), which is moved in the axial direction by rotation of the adjustment spindle; and an adjusting unit () for adjusting a distance () between an engagement device () and a pressure plate (), which adjusting unit is adjusted by an axial motion of the spindle nut () in such a way that the axial direction () of the adjustment spindle () can be oriented parallel to a radial direction () of the friction clutch (). Through the adjustment device here, it is possible to realize a robust functional unit that is sufficiently stiff with respect to the applied centrifugal forces and that has low production requirements, low weight, and low installation space.
