A torque limiter for a drive train includes a rotational axis, a first cover disc and a second cover disc, a central disc arranged axially between the cover discs, a first friction lining and a second friction lining, a radially outer connector and a radially inner connector, and a spring element. The first friction lining is for frictionally locking torque transmission between the first cover disc and the central disc, and the second friction lining is for frictionally locking torque transmission between the second cover disc and the central disc. The radially outer connector is permanently connected to the cover discs in a torque-transmitting manner, and the radially inner connector is permanently connected to the central disc in a torque-transmitting manner. The spring element is arranged between the central disc and the first friction lining or the second friction lining.

A pendulum rocker damper with a rotation axis includes an input side with first and second input-side counter tracks, an output side with first and second output-side counter tracks, a stored energy source, and rocker elements disposed at opposite axial ends of the stored energy source. Each of the rocker elements has three axially offset partial tracks forming an input-side roller track and an output-side roller track. A first input-side rolling element is clamped between the first input-side counter track and a first input-side roller track and a second input-side rolling element is clamped between the second input-side counter track and a second input-side roller track. A first output-side rolling element is clamped between the first output-side counter track and a second output-side roller track and a second output-side rolling element is clamped between the second output-side counter track and a second output-side roller track.

A torsional vibration damper includes a common axis of rotation extending along an axial direction, an input part, an output part, rotatable relative to the input part in a limited manner with torque transmission, and a ramp system. The ramp system includes an axially displaceable component, a plurality of rolling elements for converting rotation of the input part relative to the output part into an axial shifting of the axially displaceable component, and a plurality of energy storage elements. The plurality of energy storage elements are arranged distributed along a circumferential direction, extend along the axial direction, and are elastically deformable in the axial direction.

Torsional vibration damper

A torsional vibration damper includes an input side and an output side, first and second rolling bodies, an intermediate element for torque transmission between the input and output sides, and an energy storage element for supporting the intermediate element in an oscillating manner. The intermediate element has a first transmission path for rolling the first rolling body, and a second transmission path for rolling the second rolling body. The input side has a first counter path complementary to the first transmission path. The output side has a second counter path complementary to the second transmission path. The first rolling body is guided between the first transmission path and the first counter path, and the second rolling body is guided between the second transmission path and the second counter path. The energy storage element is arranged with a vector component that acts circumferentially on the intermediate element in a circumferential direction.

Torsional vibration damper with a rotational axis for a powertrain

A torsional vibration damper includes an input side for receiving a torque, an output side for dispensing the torque, an intermediate element arranged for torque transmission between the input side and the output side, an energy storage element supporting the intermediate element such that it can vibrate relative to the input side and the output side, and a roll body. The intermediate element has a transmission path for the roll body. The input side or the output side forms a path side with a counter path that is complementary to the transmission path, and the other of the input side or the output side forms a force side. The roll body is guided in a rotatable manner between the transmission path and the counter path, and the energy storage element connects the force side to the intermediate element for torque transmission.
