Abstract
The present invention relates to a clutch arrangement for coupling a first clutch section to a second clutch section. The clutch arrangement has at least one pin-shaped shift element mounted so as to be movable in the direction of the longitudinal axis thereof by the first clutch section between an engaged position, in which the two clutch sections are coupled for conjoint rotation by means of the shift element, and a disengaged position, in which the two clutch sections are decoupled from one another. Also provided is a spring, which acts at least indirectly on the shift element and preloads the latter in the direction of the engaged or disengaged position, whereas an electromagnet serves to move the shift element counter to the preloading effect of the spring in the energized state.
Claims16
A clutch arrangement, in particular for a drive train of a motor vehicle, for coupling a first clutch section to a second clutch section, comprising:
- at least one pin-shaped shift element which is mounted so as to be movable in the direction of the longitudinal axis thereof between an engaged position, in which the two clutch sections are coupled for conjoint rotation by means of the shift element, and a disengaged position, in which the two clutch sections are decoupled from one another,
- at least one spring which acts at least indirectly on the shift element and preloads the latter in the direction of the engaged or disengaged position;
- and
- an electromagnet which moves the shift element counter to the preloading effect of the spring in the energized state.
