Abstract
A hybrid module has an intermediate element via which a counter plate, or at least one of the counter plates, of a coupling device is fixedly connected to a rotor element. At least one pressure plate and/or intermediate plate of the coupling device is here connected rotationally fixedly but axially displaceably to the rotor element via the at least one intermediate element. The result is a compact plate connection which is advantageous in particular for multiplate clutches. The intermediate element may be arranged radially outside the plates (pressure plate(s), counter plate(s) and any intermediate plates) of the coupling device.

A coupling module for a drive train of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a rotor element;
- a coupling device including a clutch, the clutch including:
- a pressure plate;
- an intermediate plate;
- a first clutch disc arranged axially between the pressure plate and the intermediate plate;
- a counter plate fixed to the rotor element;
- and,
- a second clutch disc arranged axially between the intermediate plate and the counter plate;
- and,
- an intermediate element rotationally fixed and axially displaceable relative to the pressure plate and the intermediate plate by respective leaf springs.
A coupling module for a drive train of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a rotor element;
- a coupling device including a clutch, the clutch including:
- a pressure plate;
- an intermediate plate;
- and,
- a counter plate fixed to the rotor element and,
- an intermediate element rotationally fixed and axially displaceable relative to the pressure plate or the intermediate plate by at least one recess-engagement structure, wherein:
- the intermediate element is formed as a tube or pot with at least one slot;
- and,
- the slot forms a recess of the recess-engagement structure.
