Abstract: A coupling for transmitting torque from a drive to a load has a first connection for connection with the drive, a second connection for connection with the load, and an elastic element for vibration damping and between the first and second connections in the energy transmission path therebetween. An actuator carried on the elastic element has a base body and a centrifugal mass body rotatable relative thereto. One of the two bodies carries an electrical conductor and the other of the two bodies carries a permanent magnet. The conductor is in a magnetic field of the permanent magnet. Thus a flow of current through the conductor makes the centrifugal mass body exert an angular force on the base body to compensate for rotational vibrations.
