A clutch for selectively coupling a motor to a motor vehicle drivetrain includes a sliding sleeve, an actuating cap arranged for moving the sliding sleeve, a housing comprising two pressure chambers, and a piston arranged in a pressure-dependent axially movable manner between the two pressure chambers. The actuating cap has a cantilever-like arm with a snap closure at a free end, and the snap closure is arranged to engage on the sliding sleeve. In an example embodiment, the actuating cap has a main body and a slit extending between the cantilever-like arm and the main body, the cantilever-like arm projects from the main body, and the slit is arranged to adjust a stiffness of the cantilever-like arm in an axial direction and a radial direction.
A clutch for coupling and decoupling a motor from a motor vehicle drive train, comprising a piston which is arranged in a pressure-dependent axially movable manner between two pressure chambers in a housing, wherein the piston is connected to an actuating cap which is prepared for contacting/moving a sliding sleeve, wherein the actuating cap has a section which is designed as a cantilever-like arm and has a snap closure at its free end for engaging on the sliding sleeve, and wherein the cantilever-like arm projecting from a main body of the actuating cap is spaced apart by a slit extending between the cantilever-like arm and the main body, by means of which the elasticity/stiffness in the axial direction and radial direction is selectively adjusted.
