Patent ID: 8863892

Claim:
An end cap for an energy storage device in a torsional vibration damper, comprising: a longitudinal axis; a cylindrical section for engaging with the energy storage device disposed parallel to the longitudinal axis; and, including first and second axial ends opposite each other in an axial direction parallel to the longitudinal axis; and, a radial section at the first end of the cylindrical section with respect to an axial direction parallel to the longitudinal axis: for engaging with an input or an output side of the torsional vibration damper; and, extending outward from the first end in a radial direction orthogonal to the longitudinal axis; a first opening formed by the first axial end of the cylindrical section, aligned with the radial section in the radial direction and through which the longitudinal axis passes; and, a second opening formed by the second axial end of the cylindrical section through which the longitudinal axis passes, wherein the end cap can be produced by shaping from a metal sheet.
