<p>A twin mass flywheel having an input mass (11) for connection with a vehicle engine and an output mass (12) for connection with a vehicle drive line. The input and output masses are relatively rotatable against the action of a damping means (13) to absorb/attenuate torsional vibrations emanating from the engine. A radially inwardly extending flange (16) is secured to an outer peripheral portion (18) of the input mass and an axially extending support hub (15) is secured to an inner peripheral portion (21) of the flange. The output mass (12) is supported by a bearing (14) from the hub (15). A sub assembly which includes the output mass (12), bearing (14), flange (16), damping means (13) and even an associated clutch (42, 43, 44, 45) mounted on the output mass may be connected to an outer peripheral region of the input mass (11) by bolts (19).</p> |
