Abstract
A clutch device, in particular a booster clutch device, including at least a clutch flange and a clutch hub, which are arranged coaxially to each other and are coupled with each other by means of a spring device having a multi-stage spring characteristic is provided. The clutch flange forms a plate basket to hold lamellae for a clutch. The clutch device shown and described here is less complex than corresponding clutch devices which are assumed to be known, functions of the plate basket and the torque sensor being combined. That makes fewer parts necessary, but they continue to have the same functions. The construction is less complex, assembly requires less effort, and the costs are reduced accordingly. The clutch device is flexibly adaptable to different requirements.
