Abstract

A clutch disk including a hub area and a plurality of friction lining elements carried on the hub area, which are arranged in sequence around the circumference relative to the clutch disk rotational axis, and provide at least part of the friction surface area, where the friction lining elements are designed to make frictional contact with the associated opposing friction surface of a flywheel, a pressure plate, or the like. At least one friction lining element is carried on the hub area with freedom to shift position essentially in the circumferential direction relative to the rotational axis.
