Abstract
A pressure plate for a friction clutch has a friction-surface region which can be pressed against a friction-lining arrangement of a clutch disk or the like. The pressure plate, in the friction-surface region, is formed at least partially from a first material which provides rapid dissipation of heat generated by friction, and in a body region which adjoins the friction-surface region, is formed from a second material which has a high heat absorption capacity for the heat dissipated from the friction-surface region.
