Abstract

The invention relates to a clutch arrangement comprising: a housing (41); a first driving part (7) which is drivable in a rotational manner about an axis of rotation (A7); a second driving part (13) which is rotatable relative to the first driving part (7); a clutch (4) which is arranged in the power path between the first driving part (7) and the second driving part (13), wherein the clutch (4) has a first clutch part (25), which is held non-rotatably and axially movably relative to the first driving part (7), and a second clutch part (26), which is connected to the second driving part (13); a controllable actuator (5) for actuating the clutch (4); a sensor unit (11) for determining a position signal representing the axial position of the first clutch part (25), wherein the sensor unit (11) has a transmitter element (38) at least indirectly connected to the first clutch part (25), and a sensor (44), which is connected to the positionally fixed housing (41), for detecting a position of the transmitter element (38); and adjustment means (46) for adjusting the position of the sensor (44) relative to the housing (41).

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a clutch assembly, in particular for use in a drive train of a motor vehicle, with a clutch and a controllable actuator for actuating the clutch in such a way that a first clutch part and a second clutch part for torque transmission Optionally, they can be connected to each other or can be separated from each other again by opening. Such clutch assemblies are used to control torque transmission between a drive source and a drive shaft of the motor vehicle. The invention also relates to a drive assembly with such a clutch assembly and with a transmission unit, for example a differential transmission, which distributes the introduced torque to the two half-shafts of the drive shaft. Background technique

[0002] A differential arrangement is known from DE 10 2009 056 088 A1 with drive wheels, a differential gear and a clutch which is arranged between the drive wheels and the differential gear. Furthermore, an electromagnetic ac...

Embodiment Construction

[0051] Figures 1 to 3 (which are described together below) shows a clutch pack 2 according to the invention in a first embodiment. The clutch pack 2 comprises a clutch 4 , an actuator 5 for actuating the clutch 4 and a sensor unit 11 . The clutch 4 can optionally transmit torque to the downstream transmission unit 3 in the power path. The gear unit 3 is designed in the form of a differential gear, but should not be restricted thereto. The clutch assembly 2 together with the transmission unit 3 , which together can also be referred to as a drive assembly 47 , is intended for use in the drive train of a motor vehicle, ie for distributing the introduced torque to two parts of the motor vehicle. on the two half shafts, wherein the torque transmission between the drive source of the motor vehicle and the half shafts can be optionally established or interrupted by means of the clutch 4 according to requirements. The clutch 4 is actuated by means of the actuator 5 , which acts on...
