Abstract
This lubricating device for a wet multi-disk clutch, which is suitable particularly for use in internal combustion engines of motorcycles, comprises several disks, which are combined into a disk package between an outer hub and an inner hub and surround the outside of a jacket part of the inner hub and, over openings of the lubricating device in the jacket part, are supplied with lubricating oil from a drive shaft having a borehole. To achieve optimum lubrication of the disks, the inside of the jacket part, which is provided with openings, is provided, as seen in the axial direction of the jacket part, with a bevel, which extends from a bottom to a free end of the inner hub, which has a radial oil-damming web and is adjacent to the free end.
