Abstract
The invention relates to a torsional vibration damper with a flexible coupling (2), comprising at least one first coupling element (3) which can be connected to a driving element, at least one second coupling element (4) which can be connected to a power take-off in a rotationally fixed manner, said elements being at least indirectly coupled to each other via spring and/or damping coupling means (5). The damper also comprises a device (6) for detecting at least one variable that is at least indirectly characteristic of the mode of functioning and/or operation of the flexible coupling. The invention is characterized by the following features: the device (6) for detecting at least one variable that is at least indirectly characteristic of the mode of functioning is integrated into the flexible coupling (2); the device for detecting at least one variable that is at least indirectly characteristic of the mode of operation of the flexible coupling comprises means (15) for acquiring the operational characteristics and a permanently mounted interface (7), comprising means (8) for reading out the variables that are at least indirectly characteristic of the mode of operation of the flexible coupling (2).
