A multiple disk clutch with a multiple disk pack and a power transmission device for transmitting an actuating force through openings in a wall of the multiple disk clutch to the multiple disk pack, wherein the power transmission device has transmission fingers that extend through the openings. The openings are at least partially arranged in a first wall section of the wall extending in the axial direction. In addition, the present invention relates to a dual clutch device having at least one such multiple disk clutch.

Multiple disk clutch and dual clutch device having such a multiple disk clutch

A clutch device includes a clutch input hub which is connectable to a drive unit (), a clutch output hub which is connectable to an electric machine and/or to a transmission, a clutch via which the clutch input hub can be selectively brought into rotary driving connection with the clutch output hub, and an actuating piston for hydraulically actuating the clutch, a chamber to which fluid may be applied being assigned to said actuating piston, wherein fluid can be applied to the chamber via a first rotary feedthrough between a stationary component and the clutch input hub and via a second rotary feedthrough between the clutch input hub and the clutch output hub. The first rotary feedthrough and the second rotary feedthrough are designed on the side of clutch input hub facing outward in radial direction. A drivetrain having the clutch device is also included.

Clutch device and drivetrain comprising such a clutch device

The present invention relates to a freewheel () comprising an inner ring (), an outer ring (), a clamping gap () between the inner ring () and the outer ring (), a side wall () for lateral limitation of the clamping gap () and at least one clamping element () in the clamping gap () which is biased by means of a spring element (), wherein the spring element () is supported or supportable on one side on the clamping element () and on the other side on a support projection (), which is formed by a supporting tongue () bent out of the side wall () and projecting into the clamping gap (). In addition, the present invention relates to a method for producing such a freewheel ().
