A mechanical linkage to transmit torque between a pair of machine elements to attenuate the transmission of vibration therebetween consisting of at least one torsionally rigid intermediate link separating a pair of flexible joints defining coupling points of the link, and a counterweight forming a portion of the link beyond one of the joints having a mass calibrated with respect to the mass and moment of inertia of the remainder of the link that said coupling points are made to be a conjugate pair of percussion points of the linkage.
