CLUTCH SYSTEM

A clutch system includes a friction clutch and a ramp system. The friction clutch is a multiplate clutch, for example, for transmitting a torque between a torque-introducing element (i.e., an engine drive shaft) and a torque-discharging element (i.e., a transmission input shaft). The ramp system includes an input ramp, an output ramp, a pilot clutch, an actuation element, and a freewheel. The output ramp is rotatable relative to the input ramp to change an axial extent of the ramp system. The pilot clutch is for initiating rotation of the input ramp relative to the output ramp when there is a differential speed between the torque-introducing element and the torque-discharging element. The actuation element is for actuating the pilot clutch. The freewheel is arranged in a torque path in parallel with the friction clutch, and arranged to transmit a torque flow from the torque-introducing element to the torque-discharging element and interrupt a torque flow from the torque-discharging element to the torque-introducing element.
