A conveying device is located inside a clutch device to amplify a fluid flow in an axial direction, i.e. parallel to a rotation axis of the clutch device, and hence the fluid flow can be kept sufficiently great even in the moved portions of a fluid line. The conveying device can be used in clutch devices which are arranged as separating clutches in a hybrid module. The conveying device allows even the complicated fluid lines within hybrid modules to be supplied with sufficient fluid at all times. The conveying device may be arranged at least on the first or second clutch side, and hence the quantity of conveyed fluid is dependent on the rotation speed.

Clutch device with axially-acting fluid conveying device

The invention relates to a hybrid module including a clutch that includes a clutch actuator, also including an electric machine, an internal combustion engine end and a transmission end. The hybrid module is designed as a pre-assembled insertable module to be inserted into a transmission housing, and an actuator electronics module is already pre-mounted on the hybrid module. The invention further relates to a method for assembling a hybrid module, characterized in that the following step is carried out: &#x2014;pre-assembling the hybrid module as an insertable module, an actuator electronics module being pre-mounted on the hybrid module.

Hybrid module designed as an insertable module

A clutch device comprising a counterplate, a pressure plate displaceable to a limited extent in an axial direction to frictionally clamp a clutch disc between the pressure plate and the counterplate, a lever element acting on the pressure plate to displace the pressure plate in an axial direction, a central flange at least partially disposed between the pressure plate and the lever element and having at least one opening for the pressure plate and/or the lever element to pass through, and a wear compensation device for automatically adapting to clutch wear, wherein to prevent any undesired wear compensation, the lever element is engageable with the central flange.
