Abstract: A torsional vibration damper in a gearbox housing has an input part connected to a drive and acts on a first damping unit and an intermediate part which acts as the output of the first damping unit and as the input of a second damping unit. The torsional vibration damper further has an output part which is in working connection with the second damping unit and which is designed to accept a takeoff. Takeoff-side drive elements of the intermediate part, the second damping unit, and the takeoff are mounted in a torque-transmitting space of a clutch device, which space is provided with at least one inlet and at least one outlet. A sealing wall separates the torque-transmitting space from a damping space including the first damping unit.

Abstract: A multi-clutch arrangement, especially a dual clutch for motor vehicles, comprising a first clutch area with a first pressure plate arrangement, with a first opposing support arrangement, and with a first clutch disk arrangement, which can be clamped between the first pressure plate arrangement and the first opposing support arrangement to transmit torque via the first clutch area; and a second clutch area with a second pressure plate arrangement, with a second opposing support arrangement, and with a second clutch disk arrangement, which can be clamped between the second pressure plate arrangement and the second opposing support arrangement to transmit torque via the second clutch area. A torsional vibration damper arrangement is assigned to at least one of the clutch areas, and where—relative to an axis of rotation (A)—the torsional vibration damper arrangement is arranged at least partially in the axial area of the first clutch area and/or of the second clutch area.

Abstract: A drive system that includes a drive shaft, which is or can be brought into torque-transmitting connection with a drive train, a secondary drive system for transmitting torque between the drive shaft and at least one auxiliary unit, and at least one vibration-damping device including a deflection mass carrier with freedom to rotate around a rotational axis and at least one deflection mass, which can shift position relative to the deflection mass carrier in at least one deflection plane. Upon deflection of the at least one deflection mass from the home position relative to the deflection mass carrier, the radial position of the deflection mass changes relative to the rotational axis. At least part of the vibration-damping device can be integrated into part of the secondary drive system.

Abstract: A torsion damping mechanism with a torsion damper with an input side and an output side, where the input side and the output side are connected elastically to each other by spring-type stored energy elements for rotation in common auxiliary mass which can rotate coaxially to the torsion damping mechanism is connected frictionally to the torsion damping mechanism by way of a friction area, where the frictional connection between the torsion damping mechanism and the auxiliary mass has a predetermined frictional moment. When this moment is exceeded during the occurrence of peaks in the torque being applied to the torsion damping mechanism, the auxiliary mass can slip or slips.

Abstract: A vibration damping device for a motor vehicle drive system includes a base body rotatable about an axis of rotation and a deflection mass arrangement having at least one deflection mass and a deflection path associated with the at least one deflection mass. The at least one deflection mass is movable along the deflection path when the base body rotates about the axis of rotation. The deflection path defines a radial outer area of a movement space in the base body in which the at least one deflection mass is movable. The base body includes a carrier element in which the movement space is arranged and a first closure element connected with and constructed separately from the carrier element and arranged at a first axial side of the carrier element for closing the movement space in a first axial direction.

Abstract: A vibration damping device for a drive system of a motor vehicle includes a base body arranged for rotating about an axis of rotation and a deflection mass arrangement arranged in said base body and having at least one deflection mass and a deflection path associated with the at least one deflection mass and along which the deflection mass is movable during rotation of the base body about the axis of rotation. The deflection path has a vertex area at a position furthest from the axis of rotation and deflection areas on both sides of the vertex area extending from the vertex area to ends areas. The deflection areas have a decreasing distance from the axis of rotation (A) proceeding from the vertex area toward their end areas. A braking arrangement acts in the end areas of the deflection areas for gradually slowing the approach of the at least one deflection mass to a respective end area of the deflection path.

Abstract: A vibration damping device for a drive system of a motor vehicle, includes a deflection mass arrangement arranged in a base body which is rotatable about an axis of rotation (A). The deflection mass arrangement includes at least one deflection mass and a deflection path associated with the at least one deflection mass and along which the deflection mass moves during rotation of the base body about the axis of rotation (A). The deflection path has a vertex area and deflection areas on both sides of the vertex area. The deflection areas have a decreasing distance from the axis of rotation (A) as they proceed from the vertex area toward their circumferential end areas. A positive rolling arrangement is arranged between the at least one deflection mass and the deflection path which generates a rolling movement of the at least one deflection mass during the movement of the at least one deflection mass along the associated deflection path and thereby prevents a sliding movement of the deflection mass.

The deflection path associated with the at least one deflection mass has a vertex area and deflection areas proceeding from the vertex area. The vertex area is an area with the greatest radial distance of the deflection path from an axis of rotation of the rotating constructional group.
