Abstract
A torsional vibration damper, comprising a hub ring and a rotating ring, which encircle one another in a radial space and are positioned in one another by a guide so that they can rotate relative to one another. The collars of the hub ring and rotating ring, between which there is a clearance in the axial direction and which are connected by an essentially tubular resilient body of rubber extending in the axial direction, lock into the gap formed by the space. The resilient body has a radial clearance on the one hand from the hub ring and, on the other, from the rotating ring. The gaps formed by the clearance in the radial and axial directions, are closed off towards the outside and filled with a flowable, incompressible medium.
Claims13
A torsional vibration damper comprising:
- a hub ring and a rotating ring which encircles said hub ring in a radial space, said hub ring being positioned in said rotating ring, a guide on said hub ring so that said rings can rotate relative to one another, said hub ring and said rotating ring having collars between which there is a clearance in the axial direction and which are connected by an essentially tubular resilient body extending in the axial direction, said collars being individually attached to said rings in said space, said resilient body having a radial clearance from said hub ring and from said rotating ring and the clearance between said rotating ring and said resilient body forming at least a gap in the radial and axial directions which is closed off towards the outside, and a flowable, incompressible medium filling at least said gap.
