The plates of the second set of plates and the plates of the first set of plates engage into each other.

A friction between the discs (8) of the first set of discs and the discs (9) of the second set of discs provides torque transfer between the discs (8, 9).

The front assembly discs (3) are discs with multiple lobes, the rear assembly disc(s) being discs with multiple lobes or multiple blades or multiple flails.

The disks include two opposite external disks and a central disk between the two opposite external disks.

The disks are connected in an alternating series connection with alternate interdisk connections made between the hub terminals of successive disks, and the intermediate inter-disk connections made between the shorting rings of successive disks.

The clutch plate carriers form with outer clutch plates (13) and inner clutch plates (14) the multi-plate clutch (16) that acts as a locking clutch for the differential gear.

The adjacent disks of the set of disks (40) are alternately connected to the inner disk carrier (34) or to the outer disk carrier (36).

The inner plates (22) and the outer plates (23) are arranged in an axially alternating manner in order to form a set (24) of plates.

The disks (20) are oriented parallel to one another so that a plurality n of disks (20) defines n-1 channels between the disks (20), a pair of adjacent disks (20) defining a channel (30).

The brake rotors can be of the solid disc type or the slotted internal air-cooled disc type.

The planetary gear spindles are connected to the shaped grooves such that the position of the spindles can be changed and such that said spindles can interact by means of intermediate discs with the sun disc and epicycle discs.

Each shaft includes a disc array overlapping an adjacent disc array.

The top cover and the bottom cover apply minimal pressure to the disks, but advantageously serve to secure the disks within the carrier.

In the disengaged state of the clutch the cup-springs rotate with the outer discs and slide over the inner discs.
