Zusammenfassung: | A friction clutch 1 for use in motor vehicles wherein an input member 3,5 receives torque from the engine of the vehicle and an output member 8 transmits torque to the input shaft 10 of a transmission is engaged by a device which generates a force that is proportional to the magnitude of the transmitted torque. The device has two relatively rotatable parts 13, 15 between which are balls engaging ramp surfaces. The part 13 rotates with the clutch input and the part 15 is connectible to the shaft 10 through an electromagnetic clutch 19. Engagement of the clutch 19 causes relative rotation between the parts 13 and 15 and the ramp surfaces to move the part 13 axially to engage the main clutch through resilient levers 12. |
