Abstract:
A transmission element assembly for transmission of forces and/or torques in a motor vehicle, comprising:a vehicle components; a transmission element that transmits forces and/or torques from one location on the transmission element to another location on the transmission element and is in effective connection with the vehicle component so that the transmission element is asymmetrically excitable by the vehicle component into oscillations of different amplitudes and frequencies in relation to a reference axis of the transmission element; and an oscillation damper which is in effective connection with the transmission element, is located between the two locations, and has a damper mass and an elastic coupling element arranged between the damper mass and the transmission element, the elastic coupling element having asymmetrical damping characteristics so as to provide a higher damping stiffness in a first transversal direction perpendicular to the reference axis than in a second transversal direction and the reference axis.
