ABSTRACT:
A torque converter includes a converter housing and a turbine wheel arranged in the converter housing. The turbine wheel is rotatable relative to the housing around a rotational axis (A) and has a turbine wheel shell which carries a plurality of turbine blades as well as a turbine wheel hub connected to the turbine wheel shell. An optional bridge coupling selectively connects the converter housing to the turbine wheel. A torsional vibration damper via which torque can be conveyed to the turbine wheel hub from the turbine wheel shell and/or the bridge coupling includes a hub element with control regions, a first covering element section and a second covering element section having control regions on either circumferential side of the hub element, and spring elements circumferentially arranged and supported between control regions. The first and second covering element sections are provided on the turbine wheel hub.
