Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A torque transmission device, comprising a hydrodynamic component, a shiftable clutch device and a vibration damper. A turbine shell of the hydrodynamic component is connected with a damper input component of the vibration damper and/or with a turbine shell hub, which is at least indirectly supported in axial direction at a damper hub through a torque-proof connection. At least one axial support surface is provided at a face of a damper component, adjacent to the torque-proof connection in an axial direction, or of the damper hub. The face is oriented away in axial direction from the torque-proof connection. The invention is characterized in that a support element is arranged at the damper component or at the damper hub. The support element includes a support surface forming an axial protrusion, extending through adjacently arranged damper components or portions of a support.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What we claim is: 1. A torque transmission device ( 1 ), comprising a rotation axis, a hydrodynamic component ( 2 ), a shiftable clutch device ( 3 ) and a vibration damper ( 4 ), wherein: the vibration damper includes: a damper input component ( 4 . 1 ) including: a first drive disc ( 7 . 1 ) non-rotatably connected to the shiftable clutch device; and, a second drive disc ( 7 . 2 ) non-rotatably connected to the first drive disc; a first lateral disc ( 24 . 1 ) forming at…
