ABSTRACT:
A ball ramp mechanism for generating a clutch disc clamping force is disclosed where an activation ring having ramped grooves is connected to a flywheel driven by a prime mover and a control ring having ramped grooves opposing those formed in the activation ring is frictionally connected to a transmission input shaft by a friction shoe contacting a friction ring nonrotatably attached to the transmission input shaft loaded by a centrifugal weight which is pivotally mounted to a coupling link which extends from the control ring.
