Patent ID: 8813483

Claim:
A hydrodynamic torque converter ( 3 ), comprising: a torsion vibration damper ( 4 ) and an axial bearing ( 2 ) disposed between a damper component ( 4 . 1 ) of the torsion vibration damper ( 4 ) or a turbine shell (T) of the hydrodynamic torque converter ( 3 ), the turbine shell connected with the damper component ( 4 . 1 ), and an adjacent connecting component (F); and devices ( 10 ) for centering the axial bearing in a radial direction, wherein the components ( 4 . 1 , 9 , 18 ) directly supported through the axial bearing ( 2 ) are configured as disc shaped components (S 1 , S 2 ), wherein a centering device ( 11 ) for centering the axial bearing ( 2 ) is configured at least at one of the disc shaped components (S 1 , S 2 ); wherein a particular centering device ( 11 ) includes a centering unit ( 11 . 1 ) configured at the disc shaped component (S 1 , S 2 ) and a centering unit ( 11 . 2 ) configured in a complementary manner at the axial bearing ( 2 ); wherein the centering unit ( 11 . 1 ) configured at the disc shaped component (S 1 , S 2 ) includes a radial support surface ( 27 ) extending over a partial portion of the disc shaped component (S 1 , S 2 ) in a circumferential direction, and the centering unit ( 11 . 2 ) configured at the axial bearing ( 2 ) includes a radial surface ( 28 ) oriented towards the radial support surface ( 27 ) and configured at the axial bearing ( 2 ), and/or the centering unit ( 11 . 1 ) configured at the disc shaped component (S 1 , S 2 ) includes a support surface ( 35 ) oriented in circumferential direction at the disc shaped component (S 1 , S 2 ), and the centering unit ( 11 . 2 ) configured at the axial bearing ( 2 ) includes a surface ( 36 ) oriented towards the support surface ( 35 ) and configured at the axial bearing ( 2 ); and, wherein the centering unit ( 11 . 1 , 11 . 2 ) formed at the disc shaped component (S 1 , S 2 ) or at the axial bearing ( 2 ) is formed by an axial material deflection ( 20 ), in particular an ear ( 29 ) or a pass through ( 30 ).
