Abstract: A pulley (1) that is decoupled from the vibrations of a crankshaft and that has an integrated viscous torsional vibration damper (2), including a flywheel (3), which is arranged in a damper housing (5) that is filled with a viscous medium (4) and which can rotate relative to the housing, as well as a bearing (6) and a coupling (7) made of rubber elastic material, for supporting the pulley (1) with respect to the damper housing (5) in a flexible manner in the circumferential direction of the pulley and so as to be capable of relative rotation, the pulley (1) being assigned to the flywheel (3) so as to be axially adjoining. The damper housing (5) has at least one first axial projection (8), which is enclosed by the belt-bearing surface (9) of the pulley (1) at a radial clearance, and the bearing (6) is arranged in the gap (10) that is formed by the clearance.

Abstract: The invention relates to a viscous torsional vibration damper comprising a damping housing (1) that surrounds an annular working chamber (7) and can be connected to a machine part that is to be damped. In order to improve the dissipation of heat from the interior of the damper, a fan plate (15) is mounted on at least one flat face of the damper to conduct heat. A plurality of hollow cylindrical cooling channels (17, 18) projects from the plane of the fan plate, said channels creating intense turbulence in the air that is entrained by the rotation, thus intensifying the transfer of heat.
