Abstract:
A viscous torsional vibration damper has an annular damper housing, which bounds a damper chamber; an inertia ring arranged in the damper chamber; a bearing device, which supports the inertia ring in the damper housing and which has one or more bearing elements, wherein at least one of the bearing elements is designed as a ring that is not circumferentially closed in a mounted state; a shear gap between the inertia ring and the damper housing, which shear gap is filled with a viscous fluid. The at least one bearing element designed as a ring that is not circumferentially closed is cut to length from a strip. In order to produce the bearing element, a strip is provided, on which one or more axial bearing sections and one or more radial bearing sections and preferably one or more webs are formed. Then, the bearing element is cut to length from the provided strip and the bearing element that has been cut to length is inserted into an open damper housing and laid on a bearing seat.

Claim (Index 39):
The method as claimed in  claim 38 , wherein\n the bearing element cut to length is bent during step (c) into a shape of a ring that is not circumferentially closed.
