More Information
Summary:A torsion shaft assembly includes a torque carrying shaft including a driven end configured for receiving torque input to the torque carrying shaft and a driving end configured for outputting torque output from the toque carrying shaft. The torque carrying shaft includes an axial facing damping interface surface axially between the driven end and the driving end. A friction tube is disposed outboard of the torque carrying shaft. The friction tube is connected at a first axial location to be driven by the torque carrying shaft. The friction tube includes an axial facing damping interface surface that abuts the axial facing damping interface surface of the torque carrying shaft, forming a damping interface to provide frictional dampening against angular vibrations occurring as differential angular displacement between the driven end and the driving end of the torque carrying shaft.
