A torsional vibration damper includes a drive-side primary element having at least one primary dog, an output-side secondary element having at least one secondary dog, and at least one spring device between the primary and secondary dogs for spring-elastic coupling of the primary element to the secondary element and including a plurality of spring elements. A separator sheet includes a ring element. At least one sliding block extends from the ring element between adjacent spring elements and is arranged circumferentially about the spring elements. The primary element has also an inner part having an external toothing, an outer part on which the primary dog is arranged and having an internal toothing engaging into the external toothing, and at least one damping part arranged between the external and internal toothing for vibration damping between the inner and outer parts.

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.

Dual clutch transmission with radially nested clutches having a common disk carrier

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.

A driving plate for a multi-plate clutch system includes a plurality of external teeth adapted to be matingly engaged within corresponding internal teeth of a housing of the clutch system. The external teeth are disposed substantially equidistantly along the circumference of the driving plate. At least one tooth of the external teeth is disposed offset in the circumferential direction from adjacent external teeth.

Driving plate for multi-plate clutch system

A driver unit for multi-disk clutch systems includes a driver disk having a plurality of external teeth and a clutch hub into which the driver disk is adapted to be inserted. The clutch hub also includes a casing and a plurality of internal teeth disposed on the casing and adapted to be cooperatively received in meshing engagement with the external teeth.
