Abstract:
A torsion damper (23) comprising an input element (12, 18) and an output element (19) coaxial with each other and rotatable with respect to each other against the action of at least one compression spring (300), in which each of two adjacent, radially oriented, transverse parts (310-312, 303), associated with the two elements that comprise the input element (12, 18) and output element (19), includes a housing (306-308, 302) that receives the spring (300), the opposed ends of which are arranged to cooperate with end abutment surfaces (316-318, 304) that bound the two housings so as to act between the two elements, characterised in that the length (LF) of each of the two associated housings (306-308, 302), separating the opposed end abutment surfaces of the housing, is greater than the length (LR) of the spring (300) at rest.
