Abstract

A clutch plate in which the support of the hub provides for pivoting as well as radial compliance relative to the remaining components. This support is accomplished by a component, which is centered directly or indirectly on the hub plate of the load compliance, whereby the load springs can be employed for radial compliance of the hub.
