A twin mass flywheel has two co-axially arranged masses 11, 12 mounted for limited angular rotation relative to each other, the masses being interconnected by a number of linkages, each linkage comprising a first link 41 connected to one mass and a second link 42 connected to the other mass and a pivot which connects the first and second links. Each linkage is designed so that centrifugal force moves its pivot radially outwardly and resilient torque means 381 in each pivot are operable to resist relative rotation between the flywheel masses after a predetermined relative rotation. <IMAGE> |
