Multiple clutch device combined with a torsional vibration damper arrangement and/or an electrical machine

摘要

A drive system, especially for incorporation in a drive train of a car, can transmit a drive force between a drive unit or, if applicable, an IC engine and driven wheels. It comprises a multiple clutch device (12) or, if applicable, a double clutch device, that has an input side (34) assigned to the drive unit and at least two output sides (80) assigned to a gearbox relative to a reference torque flow direction. The drive system can be controlled to transmit torque between the input side on one hand and a selected one of the output sides on the other hand. It also comprises an electrical machine (400) by which a component assigned to the input side can be driven for rotation around an axis common to the electrical machine and the clutch device.
