ABSTRACT:
A friction clutch for arrangement in the power train of a motor vehicle. The friction clutch includes a flywheel mass arrangement to be fastened to an input shaft rotating about an axis of rotation. A pressure plate unit with a clutch housing is held at the flywheel mass arrangement. A contact-pressure plate is guided so as to be axially displaceable relative to the clutch housing and the flywheel mass arrangement. A clutch spring arrangement axially spring loads the contact-pressure plate toward the flywheel mass arrangement. A clutch disk with friction facings projects between, on the one side, friction surfaces of the flywheel mass arrangement which are located axially opposite one another and, on the other side, the contact-pressure plate. The flywheel mass arrangement and the contact-pressure plate are coupled with one another in a torsionally elastic manner with reference to the axis of rotation in order to limit the peak torque transmitted through the friction clutch. For this purpose, the flywheel mass arrangement is preferably constructed as a two-mass flywheel.
