Abstract
A torque variation absorbing device includes a drive plate connected to a drive shaft, a first fly-wheel and a second-fly wheel integrally connected, and a damping mechanism arranged between the first fly-wheel and the second fly-wheel. The damping mechanism includes a coil spring with a first spring seat fitted into one side of the coil spring and a second spring seat fitted into the other side of the coil spring. A driven disk contacts the first spring seat and is rotatable with the fly-wheels. A first elastic member is provided on the driven disk for interacting with the first spring seat and a second elastic member is provided on the drive plate for interacting with the second spring seat.
Claims11
A torque variation absorbing device comprising:
- a drive shaft;
- a drive plate connected to said drive shaft and having a common axis therewith;
- a first fly-wheel and a second fly-wheel having the same axis as said drive plate and being integrally connected;
- a damping mechanism arranged between said first fly-wheel and said second fly-wheel, said damping mechanism including a coil spring having a first spring seat fitted into one side of said coil spring and a second spring seat fitted into the other side of said coil spring;
