A clutch arrangement is provided with a clutch housing that connects a drive unit to an output, such as a transmission, which is rotatable around a central axis and with which an axial central projection is associated at the side of the clutch housing facing the drive unit in the radial extension area of its rotational center. The axial central projection receives a rotor carrier receiving a rotor of an electric machine. The central projection is connected at least so as to be fixed with respect to relative rotation to the drive unit via a first connection device and to the rotor carrier via a second connection device.

A damper device for transmitting power to an output-side member is disclosed. The damper device includes input-side and output-side rotors, a plurality of elastic members, and a hysteresis generating mechanism. The input-side rotor, to which power is inputted, is rotatable. The output-side rotor is rotatable relative to the input-side rotor. The output-side rotor includes a hub and a plurality of flanges. The hub is coupled to the output-side member.

A torsional vibration damper for a clutch disk within a drive train of a motor vehicle includes an input part arranged around an axis of rotation (d), a spring device with at least three spring elements, an output part, and torque-transmitting intermediate elements. The output part can be rotated relative to the input part about the axis of rotation (d) to a limited extent against the spring device. The torque-transmitting intermediate elements are arranged between the input part and the output part for forcible radial displacement by means of cam mechanisms when the input part rotates relative to the output part. The spring device is arranged between the torque-transmitting intermediate elements, and a number of intermediate elements corresponds to a number of spring elements.

A transmission device that includes a first clutch that includes a first clutch drum, a first piston, and a first engagement oil chamber; and a second clutch that includes a second clutch drum fixed to an outer circumferential portion of the first clutch drum, a second piston, and a second engagement oil chamber.

A dual gain friction clutch is adapted to transmit an operational range of torques from a drive member to a driven member. The dual gain friction clutch incorporates a first friction clutch pack and a second friction clutch pack, the pack being axially aligned and adapted to address one of two segments of the operational range of torques. The clutch further includes a spring-loaded skate detent unit configured to control transition between the two segments of operational ranges of torques. Each friction clutch pack may include identical respective friction discs coupled to the drive member and respective pressure plates coupled to the driven member for selectively providing torque control within either of the lower and higher segments of the operational ranges of torques. The first clutch pack is configured to operate alone and independently of the second clutch pack during the lower segment of operational range of torques, while and both friction clutch packs are configured to operate as a single combined friction clutch unit during the higher segment of operational range of torques.
