Torque-transmitting coupling

Abstract

There is illustrated and described, inter alia, a device (10) for the transmission of torques from a drive (11) to a load (12), comprising a first connection (13), in particular a flange, for connection with the drive, and a second connection (14), in particular a flange, for connection with the load, and at least one elastic element (17, 17a, 17b) for vibration damping, arranged between the two connections in the energy transmission path, characterized in that there is associated with the elastic element an actuator element (18, 18a, 18b), with at least one base body (25) and a centrifugal mass body (26, 26a, 26b) rotatable relative thereto, wherein on one of the two bodies at least one conductor section (32a, 32b) is arranged and on the other of the two bodies at least one permanent magnet (28a, 28b, 28c, 28d) is arranged, and wherein the conductor section is able to be positioned in the magnetic field such that with a flow of current through the conductor section, the base body is able to be acted upon by an angular momentum, generated by the centrifugal mass body, in the sense of a compensation of rotational vibrations.
