TORSIONAL VIBRATION DAMPERS

A torsional vibration damper such as a twin mass flywheel (10), having an input element (11) and an output element (12) which are relatively rotatable against the action of a damping means which includes a plurality of linkages (40). Each linkage has one or more links (41) mounted on one element (11...

Summary:A torsional vibration damper such as a twin mass flywheel (10), having an input element (11) and an output element (12) which are relatively rotatable against the action of a damping means which includes a plurality of linkages (40). Each linkage has one or more links (41) mounted on one element (11) via pivot pins (43) which are arranged to extend generally radially in use and connected with the other element (12) by one or more additional links (42). The pivot pins (43) of the generally radially extending links (41) are supported from the associated damper element (11) via spaced bearings (43a, 43b). A number of such spaced bearing arrangements are disclosed some of which hold grease captive. La présente invention concerne un amortisseur de vibrations de torsion tel qu'un volant à masse jumelée (10) constitué par un élément d'entrée (11) et un élément de sortie (12) dont le mouvement relativement rotatif s'exerce contre l'action d'un dispositif d'amortissement qui comprend lui même une pluralité de tringleries (40). Chaque tringlerie compte une ou plusieurs biellettes (41) qui sont montées sur un élément (11) via des axes de pivotement (43), sont disposées généralement radialement et sont reliées à l'autre élément (12) au moyen d'une ou de plusieurs biellettes supplémentaires (42). Les axes pivots (43) des biellettes (41) à disposition radiale sont maintenues à partir de l'élément d'amortissement (11) qui leur est associé au moyen de paliers (43a, 43b) séparés les uns des autres. Un certain nombre de ces paliers espacés renferment de la graisse.
