Abstract:
1. A dual clutch, comprising: two frictional clutches driven by a drive unit having a common clutch housing and a contact pressure plate fixedly connected to the clutch housing with two contact pressure surfaces and two axially displaceable pressure plates each facing one of the contact pressure surfaces, wherein between each of the axially displaceable pressure plates and the contact pressure plate are respective frictional linings of clutch disks, which are respectively non-rotatingly connected to two gear unit input shafts of a gear unit, for forming a frictional engagement by axially acting on the axially displaceable pressure plates by means of an actuating system held axially fixedly and, by means of support bearing, rotatably on the clutch housing, the axially displaceable pressure plates can be tensioned with respective actuating devices, wherein the axially displaceable pressure plates are actuated by transfer elements acted upon by the actuating devices, wherein the axially displaceable pressure plates are displaced along an axial path that conforms in amount to an actuating path adjusted at the actuating devices, and wherein a sealed annular space is formed between the clutch housing and an outer circumference of the actuating devices.
