  • Publication number: 20210372484
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a freewheel-damper assembly (2) for a motor vehicle, having a torsional vibration damper (18) with a primary element (20) which is connectible or connected, on a drive side (36) of the torsional vibration damper (18), to a drive shaft (38), and with a secondary element (22) which is torsionally elastically coupled to the primary element (20) and which is connectible or connected, on an output side (46) of the torsional vibration damper (18) facing away from the drive side (36), to a transmission input shaft (48), and with a starter freewheel (58), via which the primary element (20) can be indirectly or directly driven by a starter motor (60). The starter freewheel (58) is arranged on the output side (46) of the torsional vibration damper (18). The present invention moreover relates to a drivetrain for a motor vehicle having such a freewheel-damper assembly (2).

  • Patent number: 8376649
    Abstract: A coupling device is provided for transmitting a torque between a drive element and a clutch, for example of a motor vehicle. The coupling device includes a first shaft and a second shaft being coupled together in a positive fit. The device is equipped with an elastic element which in the positive-fit connection generates a pre-tension to suppress rattling noises.
