  • Viscous damper
    Patent number: 10393218
    Abstract: A damping mechanism configured for use with a coupling of a power transmission assembly is provided including a cylindrical body having a first end and a second opposite end. The first end is configured for attachment to a first component of a power transmission assembly. A groove is formed in an exterior surface of the cylindrical body adjacent the second end. A cylindrical ring generally complementary to the groove is positioned partially within the groove such that a void exists between an inner surface of the cylindrical ring and the cylindrical body within the groove. A viscous material is arranged within the void such that non-concentric movement of the cylindrical ring relative to the cylindrical body causes displacement of the viscous material.
