Patent ID: 8534436

Claim:
A dual clutch, comprising: two frictional clutches driven by a drive unit; a common clutch housing; a contact pressure plate rigidly connected to the clutch housing; two frictional surfaces; and two axially displaceable pressure plates each facing one of the frictional surfaces, wherein between one pressure plate each and the contact pressure plate, frictional linings of a clutch disk non-rotatably connected to the gear unit input shaft of a gear unit can be tensioned with an actuating device each for forming a frictional engagement by axially acting on the pressure plates by means of an actuating system, wherein the actuating system is rotatable relative to the clutch housing and is axially rigidly received on the clutch housing, and the dual clutch is radially supported by means of the actuating system at a gear unit housing of the gear unit, and wherein the actuating system has an actuator housing in common for both actuating devices which actuator housing forms a clearance fit with the gear unit housing, the clearance fit being pivotable in an articulated manner within a predetermined angle.
