<p>A twin mass flywheel (10) for a vehicle comprising two co-axially arranged relatively rotatable masses (11, 17) interconnected by a plurality of pivotal linkages (40). Each linkage (40) comprising a first link (41) pivotally connected to one flywheel mass (12) a second link (42) pivotally connected to the other flywheel mass (11) and a pivot (45) to move radially outwardly. A variable hysteresis friction damping means (50), whose resistance to relative rotation changes as the relative angle of rotation is altered, acts between the flywheel masses. The damping means (50) can be provided by two friction damping plates (151, 155) which operate at different stages of rotation. The relative rotation may be limited by resilient stops 1B.</p> |
