Abstract:
A torsional vibration damper having an axis of rotation, comprising:a drive-side transmission element rotatably mounted for rotating about the axis of rotation;an output-side transmission element rotatably mounted for rotation about the axis of rotation and rotatable relative to the drive-side transmission element;a damping device connected between said drive-side transmission element and said output-side transmission element and comprising a first gear element and a second gear element;a first set of teeth on an axial side of said first gear element facing said second gear element;a second set of teeth on an axial side of said second gear element facing said first gear element for engaging said first set of teeth, said second set of teeth having a radial inner side and a radial outer side, and wherein both said radial inner side and said radial outer side of said second set of teeth project axially from said axial side of said second gear element; anda positioning device for axially positioning said first and second gear elements relative to each other and thereby for setting an axial engagement depth of said first set of teeth into said second set of teeth.
