Abstract:
A motor vehicle drive train comprisinga power takeoff shaft having a connecting end, a transmission having at least one transmission input shaft which occupies a radial area, a clutch device having an axis or rotation and comprising at least one clutch arrangement connected to a respective at least one input shaft, a torque-transmitting arrangement having a radially outer area connected to said clutch device and a radially inner area axially fixed to one of said connecting end and a component attached nonrotatably to said connecting end by at least one positive connecting element, said at least one positive connecting element being located in a central radial area relative to the axis of rotation, said central radial area being essentially the same or smaller than the radial area occupied by said at least one input shaft, wherein said torque transmitting arrangement is elastically resilient in the axial direction and elastically resilient to compensate for wobbling of the connecting end relative to the axis of rotation, and wherein said torque-transmitting arrangement and said clutch device form a vibration system having a resonance frequency with respect to axial vibrations and wobbling in the drive train, said resonance frequency being below a vibration excitation frequency corresponding to the no-load rotational speed.
