Vehicle dual or multi-clutch unit fixed to bell housing by radial supports

摘要

A vehicle dual clutch unit (12) forms part of a drive train between the engine and gearbox. A first section (64) of the dual clutch unit connects to a first gear shaft (22), while the second clutch section (72) connects to a second gear shaft (24). The clutch has a two-part housing (18, 20) with a bell housing (28) and central drive shaft (34) aperture (40). The housing has internal radial supports (52, 34) for the clutch unit. The input side of the clutch is supported by especially radial fixtures on the inner face of the clutch housing.
