Abstract:
1. A dual clutch assembly comprising: a torsional vibration damper comprising 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; a dual clutch comprising an input area and two output areas, each said output area being coupleable with a respective driven member so as to be fixed against rotation with respect to said driven member; an axial/radial bearing arrangement which supports the secondary side of the torsional vibration damper arrangement with respect to the primary side so that the secondary side can tilt with respect to the primary side; and a coupling arrangement which fixes the input area of the dual clutch against rotation with respect to the secondary side of the torsional vibration damper arrangement, said coupling arrangement permitting the secondary side to tilt with respect to the input area.
