Abstract:
A dual clutch selectively transmits torque from a flywheel to a dual input transmission. The transmission has two input shafts a first shaft and a second shaft that is a hollow sleeve shaft. The second shaft is concentric with the first shaft. The dual clutch has two clutch units to selectively couple a crankshaft of an engine to one of the two input shafts. More specifically, the dual clutch includes members such as a clutch housing rotationally fixed to the crankshaft through a flywheel and other members such hubs that are rotationally fixed to the input shafts. The clutches are actuated by a rotationally fixed clutch actuator. Axial loads on the clutches are transferred through a bearing to a fixed member.
