Abstract:
A torsional vibration damper for incorporation into a torque transmission path between two components, said vibration damper comprising at least two disk-like damper members, each damper member having a radially outward coupling region and a radially inward coupling region, and at least one deformation region extending between the radially outward coupling region and the radially inward coupling region, each said deformation region being elastically deformable to permit a relative circumferential movement between the radially outward coupling region and the radially inward coupling region, at least one said radially inward coupling region and at least one said radially outward coupling region having tooth-like formations for mating with respective first and second components wherein the radially outward coupling region of one of said damper members mates with one of the two components, the radially inward coupling region of another of said damper members mates with the other of the two components, and the radially inward coupling region of the one damper member is connected to the radially outward coupling region of the another damper member via at least one further said damper member so that said damper members act in series for transmission of torque between said two components.
