  • Patent number: 11472281
    Abstract: A hybrid module includes a hybrid module housing which forms a housing interior divided by a partition. The housing interior includes at least one chamber designed as a dry space which is separated from a wet region by the partition, wherein the hybrid module has an electric machine and a first clutch device, in particular a separating clutch, in the dry space and has a second clutch device, in particular a dual clutch apparatus, in the wet region. An output side of the first clutch device is mechanically coupled to the input side of the second clutch device by an intermediate shaft, wherein the intermediate shaft is supported at least radially on the partition via at least one bearing unit.

  • Patent number: 11433754
    Abstract: A hybrid module for a drive train of a motor vehicle comprises a housing, a disconnect clutch, and a hydraulic actuating unit cooperating with the disconnect clutch and received on the housing. The module includes an electric motor, wherein a rotor of the electric motor is rotationally coupled to a clutch component of the disconnect clutch. The actuating unit has a piston element, which is received such that it is displaceable relative to the housing and which, via an actuating bearing, is connected to a pressure element such that it is fixed against displacement in an axial direction of the disconnect clutch yet rotatable relative to the pressure element. The pressure element is configured for engagement and disengagement of the disconnect clutch, and the actuating bearing is formed as an axial needle bearing.
