A torque transmitting device for a drive train for transmitting an input torque provided by at least one drive element to an output element. The device including: an electric motor having a stator and a rotor which can be rotated relative to said stator for providing a further drive torque; a separating clutch arranged operatively between the first drive element and the electric motor; and at least one centrifugal pendulum which is arranged operatively between the separating clutch and the output element and has at least two pendulum masses which are accommodated so as to be deflectable to a limited extent along a pendulum path and so as to be peripherally adjacent to one another on at least one pendulum mass carrier that can be rotated about an axis of rotation, wherein the peripherally adjacent pendulum masses are coupled to one another via coupling means.

Torque transmitting device

A torque transmission unit includes a first input side, a second input side, an output side, a hydrodynamic converter and a lock-up clutch. The first input side is configured to receive a first torque, and the second input side is configured to receive a second torque. The torque transmission unit has a freewheel. The freewheel is arranged downstream of the hydrodynamic converter, and the second input side is arranged downstream of the freewheel in a torque flow of the first torque from the first input side to the output side. The freewheel is designed to, in a first freewheel operating state, connect, in a torque-locking manner, the hydrodynamic converter to the output side for the transmission of the first torque from the first input side to the output side when the lock-up clutch is open. The freewheel is designed to, in a second freewheel operating state, decouple the hydrodynamic converter from the output side, to at least partially prevent a transmission of the second torque from the second input side into the hydrodynamic converter.

Torque transmission unit, drive train and method for operating a torque transmission unit

A torque-transmitting device has a first input side, a second input side, an output side, a hydrodynamic converter, a lockup clutch, a first torque-transmitting path which runs between a splitting point and a merging point, and a second torque-transmitting path which is configured so as to be parallel with respect to the first torque-transmitting path. The hydrodynamic converter is arranged in the first torque-transmitting path and the lockup clutch is arranged in the second torque-transmitting path. The hydrodynamic converter has a pump wheel and a turbine wheel which is hydrodynamically connectable to the pump wheel. The splitting point is connected to the first input side for conjoint rotation. The pump wheel and a first clutch input side of the lock-up clutch are each connected to the splitting point for conjoint rotation. A second input side is connected downstream of the merging point in a torque flow of a first torque from the first input side to the output side.

Torque-transmitting device and drivetrain

A torque transmitting device for a drivetrain for transmitting a drive torque to an output element. The device having: an electric motor with a conversion unit, which comprises a stator and a rotor that is rotatable relative to the stator, for converting electrical energy into mechanical energy; and a torsional vibration damper with a damper mass received on a damper mass support such that the damper mass can be deflected to a limited extent against the action of a restoring force, the damper mass being arranged so as to overlap radially with the conversion unit.

A hybrid module includes a first, motor-side pre-assembly group and a second, transmission-side pre-assembly group. A separating clutch is arranged between the motor-side pre-assembly group and the transmission-side pre-assembly group, via which the pre-assembly groups can be connected in a torque-transmitting manner.

Hybrid module for a drive train of a motor vehicle, hybrid unit and method for assembling a hybrid module

A hybrid module for a vehicle includes a damper, a pulley, a clutch, and a torque converter. The damper is arranged for fixing to a crank shaft of an engine. The pulley circumscribes the damper and is arranged for connecting to an electric motor via a belt drive. The clutch has a first output flange for drivingly engaging the damper with the pulley. The torque converter has a pilot drivingly engaged with the first output flange.
