Abstract
A vibration canceler for a shaft rotating about an axis, including an inertial ring which is fastened to the shaft in a relatively twistable manner by at least one elastic ring made of a rubber-like material. The elastic ring contacts the outer circumference of the shaft in a directly abutting manner and is untwistably pressed on to the shaft by the inertial ring.
Claims2
A method for manufacturing a vibration canceler comprising the steps of:
- sliding at least one elastomeric ring onto a shaft, wherein said step of sliding said at least one elastomeric ring onto said shaft comprises sliding said at least one elastomeric ring in a direction transverse to an axis of said shaft;
- and
- sliding an inertial ring onto an outer circumference of said at least one elastomeric ring, after said step of sliding said at least one elastomeric ring onto said shaft, so that said inertial ring does not contact said shaft.
