Abstract:
A hydraulic clutch comprisingan impeller wheel which can be driven to rotate about an axis of rotation, a turbine wheel hub on said axis, a turbine wheel which can be driven to rotate with respect to said hub by said impeller wheel, said turbine wheel comprising a turbine wheel shell having a farthest axial extension which is radially spaced from said axis, a torsional vibration damper arranged on said turbine wheel hub and fixed against rotation with respect to said turbine wheel hub, said torsional vibration damper being arranged radially inside of said farthest axial extension of said turbine wheel shell, a connection element fixed to said turbine wheel shell radially inward from said farthest axial extension and acting on said torsional vibration damper for driving said turbine wheel hub, and a lockup clutch arranged to form a drive connection between said impeller wheel and said turbine wheel, said lockup clutch comprising a disk carrier carrying at least one clutch disk, said disk carrier being formed with a holding clamp which is fixed to said turbine wheel shell in a holding area which is radially displaced from said farthest axial extension.
