Automotive transmission dampening mechanism has two mass balances linked by bearing maximizing the torsion dampening

摘要

An automotive flywheel with two mass balances consists of a primary flywheel (10) link to the engine crankshaft and a secondary flywheel (20) which interlinks with the clutch. The primary (10) and secondary (20) flywheels may rotate on a bearing (2a) with respect to each other. Torsion dampeners are peripherally located between the primary (10) and secondary (20) flywheels. The peripheral dampeners have elastic components (30) linked to frictional surfaces (3) which interface with the primary (10) and secondary (20) flywheels.
