The invention relates to a centrifugal force pendulum (1), in particular for an arrangement in a drive train of a motor vehicle, comprising a pendulum flange (2) rotating about a rotational axis and a plurality of absorber masses (6) arranged on the flange over the circumference thereof, wherein in each case two absorber masses (6) located opposite of each other on the sides of the pendulum flange are connected to each other through webs (9), which each extend through an opening (3) in the pendulum flange so as to form absorber mass pairs (8). At the same time, cutouts (4) for receiving the absorber masses are provided in the pendulum flange. In order to achieve an optimization of the available circumference of the pendulum flange for accommodating the openings and cutouts, the adjoining webs of two adjoining absorber mass pairs are guided through a single opening.
A centrifugal force pendulum (1) comprising a pendulum flange (2, 2b, 2c) rotating about a rotation axis and absorber masses (6, 6a, 7, 7a, 7b) arranged at the pendulum flange on both sides moveable within limits and distributed along the circumference of the pendulum flange, wherein respective absorber masses (6, 6a, 7, 7a, 7b) arranged opposite to one another at the pendulum flange (2, 2b, 2c) are connected with one another through webs (9, 9a) to form absorber mass pairs (8, 8a, 8b) and the webs (9, 9a) reach through openings (3, 3c) recessed through the pendulum flange (2, 2b, 2c), wherein at least one opening (3) receives two webs (9, 9a) of different absorber mass pairs (8, 8a, 8b).
