US 10,006,497 B2 · Rotor-integrated separating clutch with two-stage clutch transmission

Abstract

A rotor-integrated disconnect clutch for a hybrid module with a rotor, comprising a clutch disc axially arranged to be non-rotatably secured between a counter plate and an axially movable pressure plate, wherein a first lever element such as a diaphragm spring is pivotable about a bearing point and in operative connection with the pressure plate, for instance via a pressure plate tab, to transmit force, wherein an actuator such as an electrical concentric actuator for at least indirectly causes the first element to pivot about the bearing point, wherein a second lever element is disposed between the first actuator and the first lever element to have a force transmitting effect there between. The invention further relates to a drive train including a hybrid module with a disconnect clutch of this type.
