  • Patent number: 11454297
    Abstract: A torsional vibration damper that damps torsional vibration effectively in a low-speed range. In the torsional vibration damper, a spring holder is formed by apertures of an input element and an output element, and an elastic member is held in the spring holder. A first moveable range of a planetary element extending from an initial position in a drive direction is wider than a second movable range of the planetary element extending from the initial position in a counter direction.

  • Publication number: 20220042573
    Abstract: A damper device including an input element to which a torque from an engine is transmitted; an output element; an elastic body to transmit torque between the input element and the output element; and rotary inertia mass damper having a mass body that rotates in accordance with a relative rotation of the input element and the output element. The output element is coupled to a rotor of an electric motor, which is coupled to an input shaft of a transmission. The rotary inertia mass damper includes a planetary gear mechanism having a carrier that supports pinion gears, the carrier is a part of the input element, one of the sun gear and the ring gear is a part of the output element, and the other of the sun gear and the ring gear functions as the mass body.
