Abstract
The torque variation absorbing device comprises a driving plate, a flywheel, and a spring mechanism, a torque limiting mechanism and a hysteresis mechanism installed between the driving plate and the flywheel. The torque limiting mechanism is located radially inside of the spring mechanism and radially inside of an oil drain hole bored in the flywheel. The side plate at one side of the driving plate is bent toward the flywheel and covers a gap between the driving plate and the flywheel. The side plate at the other side of the driving plate is made of a steel plate and the load supporting points on both sides of the side plate are spaced from each other in the radial direction.
Claims13
A torque variation absorbing device comprising:
- a driving plate coupled to a driving shaft and having a pair of steel side plates and ring-shaped outer and inner bodies, said outer body being clamped between said pair of side plates, said outer and inner bodies and said pair of side plates bewing integrally connected;
- a flywheel arranged coaxial with said driving plate and rotatably supported via a bearing on said driving plate;
- and
- a spring mechanism, a torque limiting mechanism, and a hysteresis mechanism interposed between said driving plate and said flywheel, said torque limiting mechanism being located radially inside of said spring mechanism.
