  • Patent number: 11767889
    Abstract: A cooling oil guiding device for a clutch actuatable by an axially movable piston. The piston is radially inward of the clutch, and separates a pressure space and a compensation space. The compensation space is delimited by an axially stationary compensation space cover and a seal cover coupled to the piston. The compensation space cover and the seal cover axially overlap radially outwardly and are axially movable relative to one another via a sealing element. An overflow opening connects the compensation space to an oil channel in the seal cover between the seal cover and the piston, the oil channel opens radially outward. A control edge is provided at a component part axially immovable relative to the piston, by which an oil flow exiting from the oil channel is guided through the clutch when the clutch is closed and is guided past the clutch when the clutch is open.
