Estimating the term…
An intermediate member is configured to include first and second intermediate members. Connecting portions that respectively extend outward from the first or the second intermediate plates are coupled with each other at two positions on the same circumference as pinion gears by two rivets (total six rivets at three connecting portions) as viewed in a central axis of the damper device. Such an arrangement enables spaces between the pinion gears to be used effectively, increases spaces for the first spring, the second spring and the inner spring and improves a vibration damping performance of a damper device.
A damper device configured to include an input element to which a torque from an engine is transmitted, an output element, an intermediate element, a first elastic body disposed between the input element and the intermediate element, a second elastic body disposed between the intermediate element and the output element, and a rotary inertia mass damper configured to include a planetary gear that includes a sun gear arranged to rotate integrally with one of the input element and the output element, a carrier that rotatably supports a plurality of pinion gears and is arranged to rotate integrally with the other of the input element and the output element, and a ring gear that meshes with the plurality of pinion gears and works as a mass body,
