Abstract

A torsional vibration damping system ( 7 ) for a motor vehicle drive train ( 1 ) has an input side ( 14 ) and an output side ( 26 ) connected via a damper unit ( 27 ). The damper unit ( 27 ) includes two torsional vibration dampers ( 17, 18 ) and a vibration damper ( 19 ). The damper unit ( 27 ) are configured for placement in a wet space ( 30 ) of a housing ( 6 ).

a sealing plate ( 31 ) mounted on the hollow shaft ( 15 ), the sealing plate ( 31 ) separating the wet space ( 30 ) from a dry space ( 32 ) of the housing ( 6 ).

2. The torsional vibration damping system ( 7 ) of claim 1 , wherein the two torsional vibration dampers ( 17 , 18 ) are connected in series.

3. The torsional vibration damping system ( 7 ) of claim 2 , wherein the vibration damper ( 19 ) is integrated between the two torsional vibration dampers ( 17 , 18 ).

4. The torsional vibration damping system ( 7 ) of claim 2 , wherein the two torsional vibration dampers ( 17 , 18 ) are combined to form one double-row, dual-mass flywheel ( 28 ).

5. The torsional vibration damping system ( 7 ) of claim 1 , wherein the two torsional vibration dampers ( 17 , 18 ) are arranged in a common axial plane, the vibration damper ( 19 ) is provided axially directly next to the two torsional vibration dampers ( 17 , 18 ), and the vibration damper ( 19 ) is radially at the level of a radially internal torsional vibration damper ( 17 ) of the two torsional vibration dampers ( 17 , 18 ).

6. The torsional vibration damping system ( 7 ) of claim 5 , wherein the two torsional vibration dampers ( 17 , 18 ) are combined to form one double-row, dual-mass flywheel ( 28 ).

7. The torsional vibration damping system ( 7 ) of claim 1 , further comprising a stationary shell ( 33 ), wherein the damper unit ( 27 ) or the vibration damper ( 19 ) are radially enclosed, at least in a vertically lower area, by the stationary shell ( 33 ).

8. The torsional vibration damping system ( 7 ) of claim 1 , wherein the hollow shaft ( 15 ) and the further shaft ( 16 ) are connected via a driving toothing with an interference fit.

9. The torsional vibration damping system ( 7 ) of claim 1 , wherein the hollow shaft ( 15 ), the further shaft ( 16 ), the damper unit ( 27 ), the vibration damper ( 19 ), and the sealing plate ( 31 ) form a preassembled unit.

10. A hybrid drive module ( 3 ) for a motor vehicle drive train ( 1 ), comprising:

a torsional vibration damping system ( 7 ) comprising a damper unit ( 27 ) and a vibration damper ( 19 ) which are provided between an input side ( 14 ) and an output side ( 26 ) of the torsional vibration damping system ( 7 );
