Abstract: The invention relates to a hydrodynamic component comprising at least two elements which form a working chamber therebetween and which comprises a primary wheel and a secondary wheel. A working medium which can be introduced into the working chamber allows torque to be transmitted between said elements. At least one of the elements is arranged in a rotationally fixed manner on a shaft. The hydrodynamic component comprises a device for detecting a variable characterising at least directly the transmitted torque and/or the rotation of the shaft. According to the invention, the shaft is at least designed to have at least two sections which are at an axial distance from each other and which are made of a ferromagnetic material and is provided with a magnetic field which is rotationally stable with the respective section. Magnetic field sensors are arranged in areas corresponding to the at least two sections.
