A twin mass flywheel

A twin mass flywheel (10) for a vehicle having two co-axially arranged flywheel masses (11,12) which are mounted for limited angular rotation relative to each other under the control of pivotal linkages (40) which interconnect the two flywheel masses. Each linkage is in the form of a first link (41)...

Summary:A twin mass flywheel (10) for a vehicle having two co-axially arranged flywheel masses (11,12) which are mounted for limited angular rotation relative to each other under the control of pivotal linkages (40) which interconnect the two flywheel masses. Each linkage is in the form of a first link (41) pivotally connected to one (12) flywheel mass, a second link (42) pivotally connected to the other (11) flywheel mass, and a pivot (45) connecting the first and second links. A self contained viscous damping means 60 is provided to resist relative angular rotation between the two flywheel masses.
