A damper with a torque limiter is provided in which a torque limiter is formed from an annular limiter housing formed on a mass ring, a friction plate frictionally engaging with the limiter housing a pressure-applying plate that frictionally engages with the friction plate and that is linked to the mass ring, and a limiter spring urging the pressure-applying plate toward the friction plate side, a spring holder is formed from a pair of first and second holder plates that oppose each other to define a damper housing and that are joined to each other by a rivet, and the friction plate is formed integrally with the second holder plate. Thus, a rivet providing a link between a pair of holder plates forming a spring holder does not carry the burden of torque transmission, enabling the diameter of the rivet to be smaller and thereby reducing weight and cost.
A damper with a torque limiter in which a mass ring is linked to a drive plate linked to an input shaft, a spring holder is linked to the mass ring via a torque limiter, a driven plate linked to an output shaft is disposed within the spring holder, and a damper spring is disposed so as to straddle the spring holder and the driven plate, the damper spring being compressed by relative rotation of the spring holder and the driven plate,
