Abstract
A clutch device includes an input rotor, a first clutch, a second clutch, a first drive mechanism and a second drive mechanism. A first clutch is disposed switchably between a first transmitting state of transmitting power and a first blocking state of blocking power transmission. A second clutch is disposed switchably between a second transmitting state of transmitting power and a second blocking state of blocking power transmission. The first drive mechanism includes a first drive support member and the second drive mechanism includes a second drive support member. A drive clearance is configured to be produced axially between the first drive support member and the second drive support member in the first blocking state and the second blocking state. The drive clearance is less than a sum of the first stroke and the second stroke.
