Abstract

The present invention relates to a hydraulic unit with a housing in which a hydraulic converter is accommodated, which is coupled with a drive shaft that includes a connecting shaft piece located outside the housing for connection to a mechanical drive element The invention furthermore relates to a hydraulic driving device with such hydraulic unit and to a drive train connecting piece to which the hydraulic unit is connected.It is proposed to integrate a clutch for connecting and disconnecting the hydraulic unit into the hydraulic unit itself, so that a mechanical drive train, to which the hydraulic unit is connected, can remain unchanged or need not especially be adapted to the clutch. In accordance with the invention, a clutch for coupling and uncoupling the connecting shaft piece of the hydraulic unit to and from the hydraulic converter of the hydraulic unit is accommodated in the housing of the hydraulic unit.
