Abstract:
A system for absorbing vibration and transmitting torque from a rotating power source to a rotatable load includes a rotatable driving member configured as an input to be driven by the power source to rotate about an axis of rotation. The system has a cam plate with a cam surface. A spring is configured to extend lengthwise in a radial direction relative to the axis of rotation. The spring is configured to be compressed due to the cam surface during relative rotation of the driving member and a driven member when the cam plate is operatively connected to rotate in unison with said one of the driving member and the driven member. The spring therefore has an effective spring rate dependent upon the cam surface, compression of the spring absorbs torsional vibration of the driving member, and the cam plate.

Claim (Index 1):
A vibration absorbing system for transmitting torque between a rotating output member of a power source and a rotatable input member of a load, the system comprising:\n a cam plate configured to attach to and rotate with one of the output member of the power source or the input member of the load, the cam plate having an inner periphery with a plurality of circumferentially spaced cam surfaces separated from each other by a plurality of shoulders, each of the shoulders having a rectilinear wall adjoining a respective one of the cam surfaces; and a plurality of springs configured to attach to and rotate about an axis of rotation with the other one of the output member or the input member, each of the springs extending radially relative to the axis of rotation into operative engagement with a respective one of the cam surfaces such that the spring is compressed by the cam surface during relative rotation between the input and output members whereby the springs cooperatively absorb torsional vibrations of the power source, wherein each of the springs is configured to engage a respective one of the rectilinear walls when rotating in a first direction whereby the shoulders restrict rotation of the springs relative to the cam plate.
