Abstract

An actuation system for a double clutch. The actuation system has a guide sleeve disposed around transmission input shafts of a double-clutch transmission which is connected downstream and two cylindrical elements which are disposed on the sleeve axially displaceably by an actuator unit, each for actuating the clutches. The cylindrical elements can be displaced independently from each other, are locked into position, and overlap each other.

Claims (10)

1. An actuation system for actuating a dual clutch, which has two clutches that are each actuateable axially by a lever system for a dual clutch transmission, the actuation system comprising:

a guide sleeve which is arrangeable around at least one transmission input shaft of the dual clutch transmission and which is held on the dual clutch transmission; and

two cylindrical elements which are held on the guide sleeve, which each exert a load on the lever system of each of the clutches and which are each displaceable axially along the guide sleeve by an actuator unit,

wherein each of the cylindrical elements are arranged in a rotationally fixed manner radially at an outside on the guide sleeve, and functional elements of the cylindrical elements axially overlap,

wherein the guide sleeve has at least one axially running head on which the cylindrical elements are guided in a rotationally fixed manner, and

wherein one of the cylindrical elements is formed from two separate components, including a first component and a second component and the first component has a plurality of circumferentially distributed recesses.

2. The actuation system of claim 1 , wherein the functional elements are a load exertion region for the lever system and a load exertion region for the actuator unit and an end stop region.

3. The actuation system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the cylindrical elements has an end stop region which limits a movement travel of the piston in a direction of a receptacle of the guide sleeve.

4. The actuation system of claim 1 , wherein the second component has arms with latching devices.

5. The actuation system of claim 4 , wherein the arms of the second component project into the recesses of the first component and the latching devices of the arms of the second component fasten the second component to the first component.
