PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a clutch with an abrasion follow-up mechanism which eliminates a need of additional processing to a pressure plate and can ease thermal effect from the pressure plate to an elastic member.SOLUTION: A clutch 100 with an abrasion follow-up mechanism includes: a detection member 102 which is disposed on a pressure plate 101 and moves along a circumferential direction of a clutch disc to detect abrasion of the clutch disc; and an adjustment member 103 which is disposed on the pressure plate 101, is moved along the circumferential direction of the clutch disc by an elastic force of the elastic member 106 to adjust a height of a support point, at which the clutch disc is supported, according to an abrasion loss of the clutch disc when abrasion of the clutch disc is detected by the detection member 102. The adjustment member 103 is provided with an arc shaped storage part 107 for arranging the elastic member 106 along the circumferential direction of the clutch disc.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】 プレッシャープレートへの追加加工が不要であり、かつ、プレッシャープレートから弾性部材への熱影響を緩和することのできる摩耗追従機構付クラッチを提供する。【解決手段】 摩耗追従機構付クラッチ１００は、プレッシャープレート１０１上に配置され、クラッチディスクの円周方向に沿って移動してクラッチディスクの摩耗を検知する検知部材１０２と、プレッシャープレート１０１上に配置され、検知部材１０２によりクラッチディスクの摩耗が検知されたときに、弾性部材１０６の弾性力によってクラッチディスクの円周方向に沿って移動して、クラッチディスクの摩耗量に応じてクラッチディスクを支持する支点の高さを調整する調整部材１０３を備えている。調整部材１０３には、弾性部材１０６をクラッチディスクの円周方向に沿って配置するための円弧状の収納部１０７が設けられている。【選択図】 図１
