A torque transferring transmission-drive system includes a first friction surface. A second friction surface is directed toward the first friction surface. A reaction plate is positioned between the first friction surface and the second friction surface. A piston is actuated by a fluid pressure to displace the first friction surface toward the second friction surface, frictionally engaging the reaction plate between the first friction surface and the second friction surface. At least one strap spring in a clutch engaged condition elastically compresses to allow the reaction plate to be frictionally engaged between the first friction surface and the second friction surface, and in a clutch disengaged condition the at least one strap spring elastically expands to create a clearance between the reaction plate and each of the first friction surface and the second friction surface.

A clutch (1), includes an input side (2) which is prepared for the introduction of torque, and an output side (3) which is prepared for the forwarding of torque to at least one transmission input shaft (4). The clutch includes first friction elements (5) as part of a first multiple disc assembly (6) and having second friction elements (7) as part of a second multiple disc assembly (8). The first friction elements (5) are connected to the input side (2) in a torque-transmitting manner and the second friction elements (7) are connected to the output side (3) in a torque-transmitting manner. The first and second friction elements (5, 7) can be brought into frictional engagement with one another by way of a pressing force (F), in order to transmit a torque (M) from the input side (2) to the output side (3). At least one leaf spring (9) is provided which is configured to boost the pressing force (F). The second multiple disc assembly (8) is split and the friction elements (7) thereof are attached to two torque forwarding devices (45, 46) which are separate from one another, in such a way that a torque flow to the transmission input shaft (4) runs via a first torque path (DW1) which contains the at least one leaf spring (9), and a second torque path (DW2) which is separate therefrom.

A hybrid module is provided for the drivetrain of a motor vehicle, which drivetrain has an electric machine, an internal combustion engine and a transmission. The hybrid module has (i) a first unit with a rotor element and a separating clutch which is arranged within the rotor element, (ii) a second unit with a clutch device comprising at least one clutch, and (iii) a third unit with a housing part. The first unit and the second unit are connected to each other to form a preassembled overall unit, and said overall unit is installed projecting into the third unit and is connected here to the third unit. A hybrid module constructed in such a manner can be produced by means of particularly simple assembly and is very compact. A method for assembly of said hybrid module is also provided.

A hybrid module is compact and easy to construct, with components for transmitting torque to at least one transmission input shaft. The disclosed hybrid module includes a counterplate, or at least one counterplate in the case of multiple counterplates, of a clutch device is connected to a rotor element. The connection may be a direct connection, or a connection without intermediate elements, in which no intermediate element is provided for bridging an axial spacing between the rotor and the counterplate. Thus, coupling of an electric machine of the hybrid module and of the clutch device is realized with a minimal structural space requirement. By means of this measure, the clutch device can project into a stator of the electric machine.

A multi-plate clutch for coupling a drive shaft of a motor vehicle engine in a drive train having at least one transmission input shaft. The clutch includes a counter plate for introducing torque from the drive shaft and a clutch plate for conveying the torque to the transmission input shaft and having a first lining ring for torque transmission and a second lining ring that is movable axially relative to the first lining ring for torque transmission. A separator plate is movable axially relative to the counter plate and is positioned between the lining rings. A contact plate is movable axially relative to the counter plate by an actuating element to frictionally compress the clutch plate. The first lining ring is positioned between the contact plate and the separator plate in the axial direction, and the second lining ring is positioned between the separator plate and the counter plate.

A compact hybrid module includes a separating clutch with a reliably controlled actuation pressure. The hybrid module is provided with a disengagement device having a pressure pot for the transmission of force from a disengagement bearing to a pressure plate of the separating clutch or K0 separating clutch. The separating clutch itself can be actuated via the pressure pot without an additional lever ratio. Owing to a low level of hysteresis as a result of the direct actuation, the clutch can then be precisely regulated in terms of pressure.

A torque transferring transmission-drive system includes a first friction surface. A second friction surface is directed toward the first friction surface. A reaction plate is positioned between the first friction surface and the second friction surface. A piston is actuated by a fluid pressure to displace the first friction surface toward the second friction surface, frictionally engaging the reaction plate between the first friction surface and the second friction surface. At least one strap spring in a clutch engaged condition elastically compresses to allow the reaction plate to be frictionally engaged between the first friction surface and the second friction surface, and in a clutch disengaged condition the at least one strap spring elastically expands to create a clearance between the reaction plate and each of the first friction surface and the second friction surface.

A twin plate separation system, comprising a pressure plate, an intermediate plate facing the pressure plate, and a spring separator assembly. The spring separator assembly comprises a mounting extending out from the intermediate plate towards the pressure plate. A spring surrounds the mounting, and the spring is biased to push the pressure plate and the intermediate plate apart. The mounting or another fixture can secure at least one drive strap to the intermediate plate. Alternatively, the mounting extends out of the pressure plate towards the intermediate plate, and the spring surrounds the mounting and is biased to push the pressure plate and the intermediate plate apart. In this alternative, the intermediate plate does not comprise a hole for receiving the mounting.
