Abstract
A circulating oil clutch comprises a casing inside which are a friction disk and generally annular pressure and reaction plates, one on each side of the friction disk. These plates are axially movable relative to each other so as to be able to clamp the friction disk between them. Control means are adapted to urge the pressure plate towards the reaction plate, which is adapted to support the assembly axially. Oil circulation channels on the backs of the pressure and reaction plates form parts of a common oil circulation circuit.
