Zusammenfassung:A clutch system for coupling a drive shaft of a motor vehicle engine to a transmission input shaft of a motor vehicle transmission is disclosed. The clutch system includes a friction clutch for transmitting a torque between a torque-introducing element and a torque-discharging element. It also includes a ramp system for an axial displacement of a pressure plate of the friction clutch, wherein the ramp system has an input ramp and an output ramp, which can be turned in relation to the input ramp to change an axial extent of the ramp system. A pilot clutch, which acts on the ramp system, is provided for actuating the friction clutch based on a differential speed between the torque-introducing element and the torque-discharging element. An electromagnet for a magnetic actuation of the pilot clutch is further provided, wherein the ramp system is arranged radially within the friction clutch and/or the pilot clutch.
