Abstract
An end cap for an arc spring in a torsional vibration damper having a cylindrical section for engaging with the arc spring and a radial section at one end of the cylindrical section for engaging with an input or output side of the torsional vibration damper, the end cap being producible by shaping from a metal sheet. A torsional vibration damper for elastic transmission of torque between an input side and an output side including the described end cap for transmission of force between one of the sides and the arc spring.

An end cap for an energy storage device in a torsional vibration damper, comprising:
- a longitudinal axis;
- a cylindrical section for engaging with the energy storage device disposed parallel to the longitudinal axis;
- and,
- including first and second axial ends opposite each other in an axial direction parallel to the longitudinal axis;
- and,
- a radial section at the first end of the cylindrical section with respect to an axial direction parallel to the longitudinal axis:
- for engaging with an input or an output side of the torsional vibration damper;
- and,
- extending outward from the first end in a radial direction orthogonal to the longitudinal axis;
- a first opening formed by the first axial end of the cylindrical section, aligned with the radial section in the radial direction and through which the longitudinal axis passes;
- and,
- a second opening formed by the second axial end of the cylindrical section through which the longitudinal axis passes, wherein the end cap can be produced by shaping from a metal sheet.
