Abstract

On a housing for a pressure plate assembly of a friction clutch, at least one mass part is provided, especially a motion stop for a clearance-producing arrangement of the pressure plate assembly provided for detecting wear. An imbalance-compensating formation is provided on the housing, which compensates essentially completely for at least the one imbalance introduced by the at least one motion stop.
