A dual clutch having a first clutch which has a first pressure plate that is movable axially relative to a first counterplate for coupling a first clutch disk that is connected to a first output shaft, a second clutch, which has a second pressure plate that is axially movable relative to a second counterplate for coupling a second clutch disk that is connected to a second output shaft, a torsional vibration damper situated in the direction of flux force between the input shaft and the first counterplate wherein the torsional vibration damper includes a dual mass flywheel with a bow spring running in the circumferential direction to transmit torque, where the flux of force is introducible radially on the outside from the input shaft to the first counterplate into the dual mass flywheel, and is dispersible radially on the inside to the bow spring.

Dual clutch

A clutch unit () including at least one wet clutch () and a torsional vibration damper () which are accommodated in a housing () driven by the drive unit. In order to simplify assembly, pre-assembled modular units () are formed that are joined together during the final assembly process. Advantageously, a separation point is provided between two modular units in the torsional vibration damper, wherein one modular unit () includes the energy accumulators () captively accommodated in a housing part (), while the other modular unit () includes the output part of the torsional vibration damper as an input part () of the at least one wet clutch.
