Patent ID: 8579093

Claim:
A hydrodynamic torque converter, comprising: a torque converter lockup clutch ( 40 ); a converter housing connected at a drive side; a pump wheel non-rotatably connected to the converter housing; a turbine wheel ( 30 ) non-rotatably connected at an output side to an output hub ( 18 ); and, a torsional vibration damper ( 10 ) having a damper output part ( 22 ) non-rotatable connected to the output hub ( 18 ) or a component selected from the group consisting of a pendulum flange, said turbine wheel, and said output hub, and said torsional vibration damper ( 10 ) actively arranged between a clutch output ( 42 ) of the torque converter lockup clutch ( 40 ) and the output hub ( 18 ), and comprising: at least one spring; and a centrifugal pendulum device ( 50 ) arranged within the converter housing and having a pendulum flange ( 52 ) with a plurality of slightly swiveling pendulum masses ( 56 ) thereupon, wherein: the pendulum flange ( 52 ) is arranged axially between the torsional vibration damper ( 10 ) and the turbine wheel ( 30 ) and is non-rotatably connected to the turbine wheel ( 30 ) and the output hub ( 18 ) by means of a keyed connection ( 28 ) having a first rivet element to connect the pendulum flange to the turbine wheel and the output hub, and a second rivet element to connect the damper output part and the component; and at least a portion of the plurality of pendulum masses is aligned with the at least one spring in a direction parallel to an axis of rotation for the torque converter.
