  • Publication number: 20240035519
    Abstract: Torsional damper (34), with an input element (E), an output element (A), an elastic element (16), and a friction device (36). The input element (E) and the output element (A) are rotatable to a limited extent with respect to one another against a restoring force of the elastic element (16). The friction device (36) has a friction disk (24), a holding element (28) and a preloading element (26), wherein the holding element (28) is connected to the friction disk (24) for conjoint rotation therewith. The holding element (28) is connected to the output element (A) for conjoint rotation therewith. The holding element (28) is arranged axially between the friction disk (24) and the preloading element (26). A clutch disk having a torsional damper as described above is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20170008558
    Abstract: An arrangement for connecting chassis parts, in particular a screw connection, between a structure made of a fiber-plastic composite and a metallic load-introducing element, designed as a traction member. The structure is double-walled having a first wall and at least a second wall spaced from the first wall. The first and second walls have each coaxially positioned recesses and a spacer, having a through hole, is positioned between the first and second walls. The load-introducing element extends through at least one recess and the hole of the spacer. The load-introducing element has a holding part assigned to it, and the load-introducing element and the holding part are connected to one another by a connecting segment. The connecting segment and/or the holding part essentially pass through the first and/or the second wall.
