Abstract: A parallel double-clutch device is arranged in a drivetrain of a motor vehicle between a drive unit and transmission of the drivetrain. The device comprises a first clutch arrangement assigned to a first transmission-input shaft for selectively transmitting torque between the drive unit and first transmission-input shaft. A second clutch arrangement is assigned to a second transmission-input shaft for selectively transmitting torque between the drive unit and second transmission-input shaft. The first clutch arrangement can be actuated by at least one hydraulically drivable first actuating piston assigned a first pressure chamber delimited by a first pressure-chamber housing and the first actuating piston. The second clutch arrangement can be actuated by at least one hydraulically drivable second actuating piston assigned a second pressure chamber delimited by a second pressure-chamber housing and the second actuating piston.

Abstract: A dual clutch transmission having radially nested clutches including an outer clutch having first inner and outer clutch disks that are interleaved between each other where the first outer clutch disks are operatively mounted to a first outer support carrier. The transmission also includes an inner clutch having second inner and outer clutch disks operatively interleaved between each other and operatively mounted to a second inner support carrier. A common disk carrier has a common clutch disk carrier that operatively supports the first inner clutch disks of the outer clutch and the second outer clutch disks of the inner clutch.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-component force-transmitting unit, particularly a double-disk clutch, preferably comprising a torsional vibration damper. The inventive force-transmitting unit is wherein at least two components are axially preloaded against each other by means of at least one waived retaining ring.

Abstract: A dual clutch transmission having radially nested clutches includes an outer clutch having a plurality of first outer clutch disks, a plurality of first inner clutch disks, and a first inner support carrier, with the first inner clutch disks operatively mounted to the first inner carrier. The transmission further includes an inner clutch having a plurality of second outer clutch disks, a plurality of second inner clutch disks, and a second inner support carrier is included. The second inner clutch disks are operatively mounted to the second inner carrier. A common disk carrier having a first outer clutch disk carrier operatively supports the first outer clutch disks of the outer clutch and a second outer clutch disk carrier that operatively supports the second outer clutch disks of the inner clutch.

Abstract: A disk carrier assembly for a multi-disk clutch includes a drive plate having a plurality of radially extending load teeth and a plurality of radially extending bearing teeth alternately disposed about the circumference of the drive plate. A disk carrier is included that has an axially cylinder segment with a plurality of axial protrusions that extend radially inward and are alternately disposed about the segment with plurality of axial grooves that extend radially outward. The axial grooves are adapted to radially retain a plurality of clutch disks while allowing operative axial movement. The plurality of axial protrusions further include a plurality of axial load protrusions alternately disposed between a plurality of axial bearing protrusions, each of the axial load protrusion have a load tooth cutout formed on its axial end and each of the axial bearing protrusion have an elongated area with an annular retaining groove.
