Abstract
A dual clutch assembly includes a torsional vibration damper and a dual clutch. The vibration damper has a primary side which can be coupled to a driving member for joint rotation about an axis, a secondary side which is rotatable about the axis, and a damper element arrangement between the primary side and the secondary side. The dual clutch includes an input area and two output areas, the input area supporting the secondary side of the torsional vibration damper in at least one of an axial and radial direction with respect to the primary side, each output area being coupleable with a respective driven member so as to be fixed against rotation with respect to the driven member. A bearing arrangement supports the input area in at least one of an axial and a radial direction with respect to a stationary subassembly.
