Abstract
A clutch with an axially-effective clutch pressure plate can be made particularly narrow if an actuating element for the clutch pressure plate features a device which is essentially radially driven. This design is for the application of an essentially axially driven force on the clutch pressure plate. Likewise, a motor vehicle clutch can be designed to be narrow if the disengagement unit of the motor vehicle clutch features a disk spring which acts on a clutch pressure plate, and a central disengagement element which is connected with the disk spring. In this case, the disk spring features an area bent in the axial direction, on which a plunger engages, capable of being actuated by the central disengagement element.
