A clutch unit includes a drive element with a drive element outer toothing, an output element with an output element outer toothing, a linearly movable shift collar with an inner toothing engaged with the drive element outer toothing, and an actuator arranged to shift the shift collar from a decoupled position in which the inner toothing is disengaged from the outer element outer toothing to a coupled position in which the inner toothing is engaged with the outer element outer toothing. The actuator includes a pot-shaped cylinder component formed from a metal sheet and includes an opening. The actuator also includes a cover arranged on the cylinder component, opposite the opening, with a cover opening, a piston guided in the cylinder component, and a shift rod. The shift rod is coupled to the piston and to the shift collar, and passes through the opening and the cover opening.
A clutch unit for reversibly coupling a drive side to an output side of a drive train, the clutch unit having a linearly moveable shift collar which is sitting on a drive element of the drive side and engages into an outer toothing of the drive element with an inner toothing, and which can be shifted into a coupling position from a decoupling position, along the outer toothing, via an output element of the output side, by engaging the inner toothing also into an outer toothing of the output element, wherein an actuator is provided for shifting the shift collar, which has a linearly moveable piston and a shift rod coupled to the piston and coupled to the shift collar, wherein the piston is guided in a pot-shaped cylinder component formed from a metal sheet, which has an opening on one side through which the shift rod passes, and which is closed by a cover on the other side, said cover having an opening through which the shift rod passes, wherein, in an assembled state, the cylinder component is inserted into a recess with a compatible shape in a wall of a transmission, wherein the cylinder component has a cylinder section guiding the piston, which is axially limited by an annular flange, to which a cylinder flange is connected, which forms the guide section.
