    Abstract: A clutch assembly includes a first shaft extending along and rotatable about a first shaft axis, and a second shaft extending along and rotatable about a second shaft axis that is parallel with the first shaft axis. The clutch assembly also includes a first friction component coupled to and rotatable with the first shaft, and a second friction component coupled to and rotatable with the second shaft. The clutch assembly additionally includes a band clutch assembly. The band clutch assembly includes a retaining band disposed about the first and second friction components, and a retaining component coupled to the retaining band. The retaining band is engageable with the first and second friction components, and the retaining band and the retaining component are rotatable with the first and second shafts during rotation of the first and second shafts.

    Abstract: Operating a clutch assembly of a vehicle drive train, the clutch assembly comprising a clutch with a clutch component that exchanges heat at least indirectly with a medium which is conducted at least partially in the clutch, comprises at least: a) determining an operating point parameter which is representative of a current operating state of the clutch; b) determining a first thermal property parameter of the medium, as a function of the determined operating point parameter; c) determining a second thermal property parameter of the at least one clutch component; d) calculating a component temperature of the at least one clutch component as a function of at least the following three values: a further component temperature of a further clutch component, the first thermal property parameter, and the second thermal property parameter; and e) adapting activation of the clutch as a function of the calculated component temperature.
