  • Patent number: 7832537
    Abstract: A dual clutch arrangement with an input shaft, with a first friction clutch, and with a second friction clutch. The input element of the first friction clutch is connected to the input shaft and the output element thereof is connected to a first output shaft. The input element of the second friction clutch is connected to the input shaft and the output element thereof is connected to a second output shaft. The output shafts are connectable to corresponding input shafts of a dual clutch transmission. An electric machine is connected to the first output shaft. The electric machine is arranged coaxially with the first friction clutch.

  • Publication number: 20090140591
    Abstract: An electrical synchronous machine, in particular for use as a drive machine in motor vehicle applications. A stator has an electrical winding arrangement for generating a rotating field. A rotor has magnetic flux generating means for generating a rotor flux with which the rotating field interacts. The rotor has a first rotor section with first magnetic flux generating means and a second rotor section with magnetic flux influencing means. It is possible to move the two rotor sections relative to one another between at least a first and a second relative position in such a way that the rotor flux provided by the rotor has a different magnitude in the two relative positions.

  • Publication number: 20090066169
    Abstract: An actuator arrangement for the axial displacement of an actuation member by means of a drive force which is generated by an electric machine, in particular for a shift-clutch arrangement of a multi-step gear change transmission. The actuation member is mounted axially displaceably on a rotary shaft. The electric machine has a stator fixed to a housing and a rotor which is coupled to the actuation member and is arranged coaxially with respect to the actuation member. The rotor is coupled to the actuation member with a form fit in the axial direction. Here, the rotor or the actuation member has a radial projection which engages into a radial groove of the other part.
