Abstract:
A torsional vibration damper, comprising:a first damper mass part rotatable about an axis of rotation;a second damper mass part rotatable about the axis of rotation;at least one coupling/damping means for coupling the first damper mass part and the second damper mass part, the coupling/damping means being configured to allow a relative rotation of the first damper mass part and the second damper mass part relative to one another about the axis of rotation, the coupling/damping means being configured to have a first end region with a first coupling region that acts on the first damper mass part, and a second end region with a second coupling region that acts on the second damper mass part, so as to transmit torque between the first damper mass part and the second damper mass part, the coupling/damping means being coupled in its end regions with the respective damper mass parts, so as to be rotatable about respective coupling axes which extend substantially parallel to the axis of rotation, one of the coupling/damping means and at least one of the coupling regions being constructed so that a tilting of the first damper mass part and the second damper mass part relative to one another is essentially not impeded.
