More Information
Summary:The invention relates to a mechanically actuated automatic dual wet clutch unit to be operated in a liquid-tight housing for a transmission comprising two input shafts, said clutch having an interstice with narrow tolerances between the surfaces of the friction disks, the average interstice in an open position ranging from approximately 0.05 mm to approximately 0.25 mm. The clutch comprises at least one first clutch part (22) and a second clutch part (24), independently actuated from the first, and at least one clutch pack in the first or second clutch part. At least one mechanical device displaces the friction disks (16d, 18d) in relation to each other in at least one of the clutch parts for engaging the friction disks. The invention also relates to a device and a method for adjusting and maintaining the interstices between the surfaces of the friction disks.
