Abstract:
1. A method for riveting two cover plate elements of a torsional vibration damper arrangement arranged with their inner sides facing one another and with their outer sides facing away from one another at a distance from one another by at least one spacer rivet element comprising: a) positioning the at least one spacer rivet element at the two cover plate elements such that rivet element end areas extend through rivet openings provided in the two cover plate elements so as to be associated with the rivet element end areas; b) supporting a first rivet element end area at the outer side of one of the two cover plate elements; c) supporting the other of the two cover plate elements at its inner side; d) applying a riveting force to a second rivet element end area opposite the first rivet element end area to deform the first rivet element end area and form a rivet head; and e) supporting the other of the two cover plate elements by a first supporting arrangement that extends through one of the two cover plate elements.
