A brake system for an electric wheel drive unit has a housing that can be attached securely to the vehicle frame. The housing has a flange region and a shaft-like wheel carrier region secured to the flange region. A first brake component is connected to the housing and includes a first support part attached directly on a radial outer side of the wheel carrier region and a first brake disc element rotationally fixed to the first support part. A second brake component is rotatably mounted relative to the housing and has a second support part and a second brake disc element rotationally fixed to the second support part. A hydraulic actuation device is provided with one or more pressure pistons arranged. A sliding element is provided for moveably coupling the pressure pistons with one of the brake disc elements.

An electric axle drive unit for a motor vehicle, having an electric motor with a stator that is fixedly received in a housing, and a rotor that is rotatably mounted relative to the stator and rotationally coupled or coupleable to a wheel hub. A brake device is operatively connected to the wheel hub. The brake device has a first brake component fixedly supported on the housing, a second brake component rotationally fixed to the wheel hub that is frictionally connectable to the first brake component, and an actuation unit that applies a braking force that interconnects the brake components. One of the brake components has a brake disc element rotationally fixed to a support part and is displaceably received in the axial direction of a rotational axis of the wheel hub relative to the support part.

A wheel hub drive for a vehicle, having: a drive housing; a hub output mounted rotatably relative to the drive housing; a wheel brake for the hub output that has a stationary and a rotating braking partner, the stationary braking partner being connected to the drive housing for conjoint rotation therewith, and the rotating braking partner being connected to the hub output. The two braking partners are frictionally connected in a braking state, A parking brake for fixing the hub output relative to the drive housing. The stationary and rotating brake partners being movable relative to one another when the parking brake is actuated and being frictionally connected to one another in a parked state. The has a ramp mechanism for converting a rotary movement into a linear movement in order to transfer a parking force to the stationary and/or rotating brake partner.

A sealing element for sealing a pressure chamber is provided in a master cylinder for a clutch or brake system. The sealing element has a sealing lip for sealing a feed of hydraulic fluid from a reservoir mounted on a housing of the master cylinder into the pressure chamber and has a sealing structure for sealing the pressure chamber from the surroundings of the pressure chamber.

Master cylinder with sealing element

A hybrid module includes a first, motor-side pre-assembly group and a second, transmission-side pre-assembly group. A separating clutch is arranged between the motor-side pre-assembly group and the transmission-side pre-assembly group, via which the pre-assembly groups can be connected in a torque-transmitting manner.

Hybrid module for a drive train of a motor vehicle, hybrid unit and method for assembling a hybrid module

A conducting element for conducting a pressurized fluid and for conducting a cooling fluid, as well as a hybrid module and a drive assembly having a hybrid module are provided. The conducting element for conducting a pressurized fluid for hydraulically actuating a clutch unit and for conducting cooling fluid for cooling a clutch unit has a cylindrical section and a securing section. At least one pressurized fluid channel is formed in the securing section for transporting pressurized fluid. The conducting element also has at least one cooling fluid channel which has at least one axial direction component in the cylindrical section, wherein the flow line element is fluidically connected to the cooling fluid channel for supplying a clutch unit and/or electric machine with cooling fluid. With this embodiment of the conducting element, a possibility for fluid conducting is created which combines the transport of cooling fluid and pressurized fluid in a fluidically separated manner and with limited axial installation space.

A multi-clutch device for a hybrid module includes a separating clutch, a dual clutch device, a first pivot bearing, a common rotary part, a second pivot bearing, a gear element, and a clamping device. The separating clutch is for transmitting torque from an internal combustion engine to the multi-clutch device. The dual-clutch device is for transmitting torque to a drivetrain. The dual clutch device includes a first partial clutch and a second partial clutch. The common rotary part is mounted rotatably by the first pivot bearing, and couples the separating clutch, the first partial clutch, and the second partial clutch in a rotationally fixed manner. The gear element is mounted rotatably by the second pivot bearing, and forms a gear between the electrical machine and the multi-clutch device. The clamping device is for clamping the common rotary part and the gear element against each other in the axial direction.

The invention relates to a piston-cylinder arrangement, in particular a slave cylinder for a hydraulic clutch actuating device, comprising a cylinder housing which is made of a plastic, in which an annular pressure chamber is formed in which a piston is mounted so as to be axially movable for actuation of a clutch release bearing, wherein the inner wall of the pressure chamber forms a guide sleeve. In the case of a piston-cylinder arrangement which stands up to the pressures and temperatures that occur in operation of the clutch actuating device, a stop is situated on the guide sleeve facing the clutch release bearing, the stop being in the form of a threaded connection.
