Abstract

The invention relates to a dual clutch comprising two clutch units (9, 10), which act in a force-fitting manner and which are mounted on a common clutch hub (1) in a rotationally fixed and axially movable manner, comprising a pressure disk arrangement (15), which is retained between the clutch units on the clutch hub in an axially fixed manner, and comprising two axially movable pressure pistons (3, 4), each of which can be ventilated by means of a compression spring arrangement positioned in the clutch hub. Each compression spring arrangement comprises multiple compression springs (6, 8), each of which is arranged in a recess (5, 7) of the clutch hub. Each recess is introduced into the clutch hub as an axially extending blind hole (5, 7). According to the invention, the pressure disk arrangement is received in a radial groove (R) of the clutch hub, said groove being radially and/or axially spaced from the blind holes (5, 7).
