Torsional vibration damper with a V-belt pulley connected thereto

A vibration damper, for damping rotating masses, including a primary part that is adapted to be mounted on a shaft, especially a crankshaft of a multi-cylinder reciprocating-piston internal combustion engine, and a secondary part that is disposed in the radial direction relative to said primary part and is connected to the latter via an elastic damping means, preferably of rubber, with a support element for a V-belt pulley furthermore being secured to said primary part, said vibration damper further comprising:

• a coupling element disposed between said V-belt pulley and said support element, with said coupling element comprising an inner part, an outer part, and a vulcanized elastomeric block that is disposed between said inner and outer parts, with said elastomeric block being made of a soft rubber mixture that has a high degree of torsional elasticity;
• and
• respective radial bearing means and axial bearing means for said V-belt pulley, with said support element providing a bearing support for said radial bearing means, and said outer part of said coupling element providing a bearing support for said axial bearing means.
