A multiple clutch device, particularly a double clutch device, that has a reduced axial installation space and/or inexpensive production. The multiple clutch device has at least two friction clutch arrangements, torque-transferring friction element carriers, each of which is rotationally fixedly connected to a frictional element of the frictional clutch arrangements, and at least one roller bearing. The roller bearing is designed to support at least one of the frictional element carriers. The supported frictional element carrier is designed as a race of the roller.

Multiple clutch device

In an adjustable-length shaft ( ) for transmitting torques comprising a circular inner shaft component ( ) that is mounted coaxially through a linear ball bearing for sliding telescopically in axial direction in a hollow outer shaft component ( ), the inner shaft component ( is mounted by two spaced-apart pre-stressed linear ball bearings ( ) that are arranged on opposite end sections ( ) of the inner shaft component ( ) and are received in a reception bore ( ) of the outer shaft component ( ), a transmission of torque being achieved by a positive engagement of the inner and the outer shaft components ( ).

Adjustable-length shaft

The inner casing ( ) of a rollerbearing permitting longitudinal movement over a limited travel path and designed for longitudinally displaceable mounting or guiding of a rod ( ) is provided with an inwardly directed projection ( ) on each of at least two opposing lateral surfaces ( ).
