  • Patent number: 11378154
    Abstract: A torsional vibration damper for torsional vibration damping in a drive train of a motor vehicle is provided with a primary mass for introducing a torque, wherein the primary mass has a flywheel which can be connected to an input shaft, a secondary mass which can be rotated to a limited extent relative to the primary mass for dissipating a torque, an energy storage element that can act on the primary mass and on the secondary mass and a centrifugal pendulum connected to the secondary mass to provide restoring torque directed against a rotational irregularity, wherein the centrifugal pendulum is arranged in the axial direction between the flywheel of the primary mass and the energy storage element.
