Claims
- 1. A dual-mass flywheel configuration, comprising:
a primary-side first sheet-metal shaped part configured to be fastened centrically with respect to an axis of rotation, said primary-side first sheet-metal shaped part contributing to a primary mass; a secondary-side second sheet-metal shaped part mounted rotatably about the axis of rotation in relation to said primary-side first sheet-metal shaped part, said secondary-side second sheet-metal shaped part contributing to a secondary mass; a torsion damper device connecting said primary-side first sheet-metal shaped part and said secondary-side second sheet-metal shaped part to one another in a torsionally elastic manner; a mass ring contributing to the secondary mass, said mass ring having a relatively larger diameter; and a sheet metal element fastening said mass ring directly to said secondary-side second sheet-metal shaped part at a relatively smaller diameter.
- 2. The dual-mass flywheel configuration according to claim 1, wherein said sheet metal element is connected to said secondary-side second sheet-metal shaped part via a riveted connection.
- 3. The dual-mass flywheel configuration according to claim 1, wherein said sheet metal element is connected to said secondary-side second sheet-metal shaped part via a screw connection.
- 4. The dual-mass flywheel configuration according to claim 1, wherein said secondary-side second sheet-metal shaped part is connected to an outer clutch plate carrier via a driving disk.
- 5. The dual-mass flywheel configuration according to claim 4, including at least one toothing provided between said secondary-side second sheet-metal shaped part and said outer clutch plate carrier.
- 6. The dual-mass flywheel configuration according to claim 4, wherein said sheet metal element and said driving disk are configured to extend on respective opposite sides of a transmission cover.
- 7. The dual-mass flywheel configuration according to claim 1, wherein said sheet metal element and said secondary-side second sheet-metal shaped part are a one-piece element.
- 8. In combination with a vehicle drive train having an engine crankshaft and a transmission, the engine crankshaft having an axis of rotation and defining a primary side, the transmission defining a secondary side, a dual-mass flywheel, comprising:
a primary-side first sheet-metal shaped part configured to be fastened centrically with respect to the axis of rotation of the engine crankshaft, said primary-side first sheet-metal shaped part contributing to a primary mass; a secondary-side second sheet-metal shaped part mounted rotatably about the axis of rotation of the engine crankshaft in relation to said primary-side first sheet-metal shaped part, said secondary-side second sheet-metal shaped part contributing to a secondary mass; a torsion damper device connecting said primary-side first sheet-metal shaped part and said secondary-side second sheet-metal shaped part to one another in a torsionally elastic manner; a mass ring contributing to the secondary mass, said mass ring having a relatively larger diameter; and a sheet metal element fastening said mass ring directly to said secondary-side second sheet-metal shaped part at a relatively smaller diameter.
- 9. The dual-mass flywheel according to claim 8, wherein said sheet metal element is connected to said secondary-side second sheet-metal shaped part via a riveted connection.
- 10. The dual-mass flywheel according to claim 8, wherein said sheet metal element is connected to said secondary-side second sheet-metal shaped part via a screw connection.
- 11. The dual-mass flywheel according to claim 8, wherein said secondary-side second sheet-metal shaped part is connected to an outer clutch plate carrier via a driving disk.
- 12. The dual-mass flywheel according to claim 11, including at least one toothing provided between said secondary-side second sheet-metal shaped part and the outer clutch plate carrier.
- 13. The dual-mass flywheel according to claim 11, wherein the transmission has a transmission cover, said sheet metal element and said driving disk extend on respective opposite sides of the transmission cover.
- 14. The dual-mass flywheel according to claim 8, wherein said sheet metal element and said secondary-side second sheet-metal shaped part are a one-piece element.
