Clutch unit with torsional vibration damper as clutch support, and hybrid module comprising clutch unit

A clutch unit for a powertrain of a motor vehicle, comprising:

• a torque input component acting as a drive element, a torque output component acting as an output element configured to be selectively connected for transmitting torque to the torque input component so as to transmit a torque via a clutch configured to be shifted using a friction element, and with a torsional vibration damper with two masses which are damped relative to each other to reduce rotational irregularities, which is arranged between the torque input component and the torque output component, wherein at least one of the two masses of the torsional vibration damper are simultaneously designed as a support for the friction element, wherein the clutch has first and second partial clutches configured to selectively connect the torque input component and the torque output component so as to transmit the torque, wherein a rotary joint is provided that abuts the first partial clutch at one end and the second partial clutch at another, axially opposite end, wherein the rotary joint is configured to actuate the first and second partial clutches.
