Clutch device for a hybrid drive
Abstract
A clutch device includes a first input side and a second input side, a first output side and a second output side, a first clutch arranged between the first input side and the first output side, a second clutch arranged between the first input side and the second output side, and a third clutch arranged between the first input side and the second input side. The first input side is couplable to a first drive motor and the second input side is couplable to a second drive motor, the input sides and the output sides are rotatable about a common axis of rotation, and the third clutch is arranged offset from the first clutch or the second clutch. In an example embodiment, the third clutch is arranged radially offset with respect to the first clutch or the second clutch.
