Summary:The spring arrangement (7,31) coupling the flywheel elements (1,2) has a spring group (7) which operates with friction depending on the centrifugal force, so that the coupling of the flywheel elements (1,2) is stiffened at relatively high speeds. In consequence, an undesired flexibility of a drive train at the operating speeds is avoided. On the other hand, because of the flexibility of the spring group (7) at low speeds and low friction, a low resonant frequency is achieved, below the vibration frequencies occurring in the drive train at these speeds.
