The present invention relates to a method for the assembly of or for preparing to assemble a traction drive module () in a drivetrain () with the method steps: providing a traction drive module () having a transmission housing () in which are arranged a first gear wheel () rotatably mounted on the transmission housing (), a second gear wheel () arranged at a center-to-center distance () to the first gear wheel (), and a traction means () via which the first and second gear wheel () are in rotary driving connection with one another; attaching an assembly aid () acting between the second gear wheel () and the transmission housing () and detachable from the traction drive module (); and changing the center-to-center distance () by moving the second gear wheel () relative to the transmission housing () while adjusting a predetermined tension of the traction means () by means of the detachable assembly aid (). In addition, the present invention relates to a traction drive module ().

The invention relates to a device for axially positioning a clutch device, especially a dual-clutch device, on a rotary drive, wherein the clutch device is mounted so as to rotate about a rotational axis of said rotary drive. A retaining nut is coaxially screwed with the rotary drive, and the clutch device is indirectly or directly supported on said nut in an axial direction.

The invention relates to a clutch arrangement in radially nested design. Known in the prior art is a clutch arrangement which comprises a radial outer multiple disk clutch having outer disks and inner disks and a radial inner multiple disk clutch having outer disks and inner disks, where the radial outer multiple disk clutch and the radial inner multiple disk clutch have a common disk support, which supports the outer disks of the radial inner multiple disk clutch and the inner disks of the radial outer multiple disk clutch. According to the invention, a common endplate is provided for the radial inner multiple disk clutch and the radial outer multiple disk clutch. Alternatively or in addition, the invention provides that the common disk support has a hollow cylindrical section with a meander-like cross section, so that on the outer peripheral side an outer toothing is formed for the accommodation of an inner toothing of the inner disks of the radial outer multiple disk clutch and on the inner peripheral side an inner toothing is formed for the accommodation of an outer toothing of the outer disks of the radial inner multiple disk clutch.
