Abstract: A dual-mass flywheel has a first mass body and a second mass body which can rotate relative to one another by way of a damping device disposed between the first mass body and the second mass body. The damping device includes, running in the shape of an arc, at least one helical compression spring, which introduces spring force into the mass bodies via contact surfaces formed on the first mass body and the second mass body. The helical compression spring is guided in the radial direction by a wall formed by a mass body. At least one friction-reducing sliding component in the form of a wire cushion body is provided between the wall and the helical compression spring.

Abstract: A torque transmission device is provided with an outer tube having a non-circular internal circumference and an inner tube having a non-circular external circumference inserted into the outer tube. The two tubes have a predefined rotational clearance as the result of a gap formed between the internal and the external circumference. At least one elastic wire cushion-like element is provided in the gap between the two tubes. The two tubes are displaceable in relation to one another, in the longitudinal direction of the tube, in such a way as to make possible length compensation, even under load.

Abstract: A damping system arranged in the region of an injector base between a cylinder head and an injector mounted thereon of an internal combustion engine has a multi-part construction. A damping element forming part of the damping system is constructed as a metal cushion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing sandwich type structural components having a honeycomb core interposed between two cover layers. These cover layers are preferably made of fiber reinforced synthetic material. Force introduction points are formed in the structural components by insertion of a core filler mass in the form of a prepolymer which reacts to become a thermoplast. Force introducing connecting elements are connected to the force introducing points by melting these connecting elements into the core filler mass especially by using ultrasonic energy, for example, for an ultrasonic welding operation.
