A torque convertor stator includes an annular bearing support, a plurality of stator blades, and a web extending radially between the annular bearing support and the plurality of stator blades. The annular bearing support, the plurality of stator blades, and the web are formed from a single continuous piece of amorphous metal.

A torque transmission arrangement is provided with a clutch device which has a clutch input and output, and a vibration damping device having at least two vibration damping units arranged at a radial offset with respect to one another, an input of the vibration damping device operatively connected to the clutch output, and an output of the radially outermost vibration damping unit being operatively connected by an intermediate transmission element to an input of the radially innermost vibration damping unit operatively connected via an output of the vibration damping device to an output unit, the clutch device partially axially overlapping with one of the vibration damping units, and being connected radially between the two vibration damping units to the intermediate transmission of the vibration damping device. The intermediate transmission is connected to an absorber mass carrier of an absorber system likewise assigned to the vibration damping device.

Torque transmission arrangement

Clutch arrangement provided with a housing and a clutch device, one of which serves as a clutch element carrier for a clutch element and the other serves as a friction region carrier. The clutch element has a carrier for a friction lining and a holding apparatus for receiving the carrier on the clutch element carrier, radially adjacently with respect to the friction lining. In a first radial region, the clutch housing has an axial projection at a first axial spacing from the clutch device and, with a radial offset with respect thereto, has an axial recess at a second axial spacing from the clutch device in a second radial region, and has a transition region radially between the axial projection and the axial recess, either the axial projection or the axial recess being intended to provide a bearing face for at least one component of the clutch device.
