Abstract
A dual-mass flywheel includes a primary-side first sheet-metal shaped part configured to be fastened centrically with respect to an axis of rotation. The primary-side first sheet-metal shaped part contributes to a primary mass. A secondary-side second sheet-metal shaped part is mounted rotatably about the axis of rotation in relation to the primary-side first sheet-metal shaped part. The second sheet-metal shaped part contributes to a secondary mass. A torsion damper device connects the primary-side first sheet-metal shaped part and the secondary-side second sheet-metal shaped part to one another in a torsionally elastic manner. A mass ring with a large diameter contributes to the secondary mass. A sheet metal element connects the mass ring directly to the secondary-side second sheet-metal shaped part at a small diameter.
