Abstract

A vibration damping system for a drive system of a motor vehicle includes an electric machine controllable by a control device for exerting a counter-torque on a rotating constructional group. A deflection mass arrangement is arranged at the rotating constructional group having at least one deflection mass and a deflection path associated with the at least one deflection mass and along which the deflection mass can move. The deflection path associated with the at least one deflection mass has a vertex area and deflection areas proceeding from the vertex area. The vertex area is an area with the greatest radial distance of the deflection path from an axis of rotation of the rotating constructional group.
