Patent ID: 8771090

Claim:
A device for transmitting torques for a drive train of a motor vehicle, comprising: a torsional vibration absorber with a primary mass which is rotatable about an axis of rotation, the primary mass including location holes; a secondary mass which is rotatable about the axis of rotation relative to the primary mass and an elastomer body which is arranged between the primary mass and secondary mass; an articulated body having a plurality of bushings which are arranged in a circumferential direction at predetermined angular intervals with respect to the axis of rotation of the articulated body, the articulated body being connected in a torque-transmitting manner to the primary mass of the torsional vibration absorber via a first group of bushings and configured for a torque-transmitting coupling via a second group of bushings to one part of the drive train, the torsional vibration absorber being configured for the torque-transmitting coupling to another part of the drive train; and intermediate bushings for the connection of the articulated body to the primary mass of the torsional vibration absorber, the intermediate bushings being attached at one end to the primary mass and each being connected at a second end to individual bushings of the first group of bushings of the articulated body, wherein the intermediate bushings each comprise a larger-diameter axial portion and a smaller-diameter axial portion, between which a seating shoulder is provided, wherein the smaller-diameter axial portion is received in a location hole of the torsional vibration absorber in such a way that the seating shoulder is seated at one side of the primary mass around the respective location hole and that the smaller-diameter axial portion projects axially from another side of the primary mass, wherein the intermediate bushings are connected in a fixed manner to the primary mass of the torsional vibration absorber, and wherein a fastening flange of the drive train is attachable to the smaller-diameter axial portion projecting axially from the primary mass, wherein the torsional vibration absorber includes a base plate, and the fastening flange is held with a defined axial clearance from the base plate.
