A hydraulic clutch has an impeller wheel, a turbine wheel with a turbine wheel shell, a turbine torsional vibration damper and a lockup clutch. The turbine wheel shell receives a connection element with which it acts on the torsional vibration damper. The lockup clutch has at least one clutch disk arranged at a disk carrier. The turbine wheel shell is connected on the radial inner side with the connection element. The disk carrier passes into a holding clamp which is connected to the turbine wheel shell in a radially eccentric manner. The disk carrier is connected with the connection element so as to be fixed with respect to rotation relative to it.

Hydraulic clutch with a turbine torsional vibration damper

A hydrodynamic clutch device, particularly a hydrodynamic torque converter or fluid coupling, comprises a housing arrangement, a turbine wheel which is arranged in the housing arrangement so as to be rotatable with respect to the housing arrangement about an axis of rotation, a lockup clutch arrangement by means of which a torque-transmitting connection can be selectively produced between the housing arrangement and the turbine wheel, wherein the lockup clutch arrangement comprises a clutch element which is connected by a connection arrangement to the housing arrangement so as to be substantially fixed with respect to rotation but axially displaceable relative to it, wherein the connection arrangement comprises at least one elastically deformable connection element which is fixedly connected with the housing arrangement on the one hand and with the clutch element on the other hand. It is provided that the at least one connection element is connected with the housing arrangement in an area between surfaces of a housing element and of a housing huh element which is fixedly connected with the housing element, wherein these surfaces face one another.

Hydrodynamic clutch device

A hydrodynamic coupling device having a housing which is, or can be, filled with hydraulic fluid, a turbine wheel which is rotatably arranged in the housing and is, or can be, connected to an output shaft for joint rotation, and a sliding bearing arrangement which the turbine wheel is rotatably mounted relative to the housing, and which has a hydraulic fluid channel arrangement for the passage of hydraulic fluid from radially outside to radially inside relative to the region of the output shaft, or vice versa. It is provided in this case that the sliding bearing arrangement has a sliding bearing element fixed on the turbine wheel, and wherein the sliding bearing element supports the turbine wheel in the axial and radial directions relative to the housing
