Abstract
A torsional vibration damper having limit stops to limit the compression of the springs and to avoid overstraining of the springs. Spring retainers which seat on the driving and driven members have protrusions and recesses to minimize relative rubbing motion and wear and provide improved alignment of the spring seats in the assembly with the springs and the driving and driven members.
Claims10
A torque transmitting vibration damper comprising, a driving member and a driven member defining angularly spaced spring slots, spring assemblies including at least one spring in each of said slots, a spring seat on each end of said springs for transmitting torque from said driving member to said driven member through said spring assemblies, each of said spring seats having means extending axially within said springs to form abutments limiting the maximum compressive force transmitted through said springs.
