Abstract

A torque transmitting device for a drive train for transmitting an input torque provided by at least one drive element to an output element. The device including: an electric motor having a stator and a rotor which can be rotated relative to said stator for providing a further drive torque; a separating clutch arranged operatively between the first drive element and the electric motor; and at least one centrifugal pendulum which is arranged operatively between the separating clutch and the output element and has at least two pendulum masses which are accommodated so as to be deflectable to a limited extent along a pendulum path and so as to be peripherally adjacent to one another on at least one pendulum mass carrier that can be rotated about an axis of rotation, wherein the peripherally adjacent pendulum masses are coupled to one another via coupling means.
