Torque variation compensator for IC-engine

摘要

The compensator has at least two gyratory masses (3,4) which are arranged coaxially with respect to each other and are capable of limited relative rotation against the action of a damper (13). One mass (3) may be connected to the internal combustion engine and the other (4) to the input (10) of a gearbox. The damper consists of circumferentially acting springs and/or a frictional or sliding damper. A further damper (14) is provided in the torque transmission path between the gyratory masses. Both dampers each have, at least two discs (37,38;24,25) arranged in axially spaced relationship each set of discs being fixed for rotation with a different one of the gyratory masses.
