Abstract
A device for transmitting torque includes a hydrodynamic torque converter having a turbine and a pump, as well as a friction clutch that is connected in parallel to the torque converter, having a first and a second frictional segment. The first frictional segment is integrated with the pump, and the second frictional segment is integrated with the turbine. A ring-shaped frictional segment, on which the frictional elements may be brought into engagement with each other axially, and a ring-shaped flow segment, on which vanes of the pump and of the turbine are located opposite each other axially, are matched with one another in their dimensions, in order to realize a balanced transmission behavior.
