  • Patent number: 12510131
    Abstract: A torsional vibration damper has a hub part (primary mass) that is able to be fastened to a driveshaft of a motor, and an inertia ring (secondary mass) that surrounds the hub part in the radially outer region, wherein a fluid-filled gap and sealing devices, by which the escape of the fluid is intended to be avoided, are provided between the hub part and inertia ring. The sealing devices each have a first ring, tightly connected to the hub part, and each have a second ring, tightly connected to the inertia ring, and each have a sealing element made of an elastomer, which is connected in each case sealingly to the first ring on one side and in each case to the second ring on the other side. The damper is configured such that the respective sealing element has been vulcanized onto a respective external axial side of the first and second ring by fastening portions.

  • Patent number: 12247636
    Abstract: A torsional vibration damper or torsional vibration absorber has a rotating system with: a primary mass, which is arranged on a rotatable shaft, for example on a crankshaft of an engine, in particular of an internal combustion engine, and preferably can be fastened for conjoint rotation; a secondary mass, which is movable relative to the primary mass; and an assembly for vibration damping and/or vibration absorption of the relative movement between the primary mass and the secondary mass. The assembly for vibration damping and/or vibration absorption of the relative movement between the primary mass and the secondary mass has at least one accumulator inside the rotating system of the torsional vibration damper or torsional vibration absorber.

  • Publication number: 20240392858
    Abstract: A torsional vibration damper has a hub part (primary mass) which can be fastened on a drive shaft of an engine and a flywheel ring (secondary mass) surrounding the hub part in the radially outer region. A gap filled with a fluid and one or more sealing devices are provided between the hub part and the flywheel ring, by which the escape of the fluid is to be prevented. The sealing device or the sealing devices have in each case a first ring connected to the hub part and in each case a second ring connected to the flywheel ring as well as in each case a sealing element made of a plastic material, which is arranged in each case on the one hand in a sealing manner between the first ring and the hub part and on the other hand with the second ring and the flywheel ring. The sealing element is arranged in a clamped manner between the interconnected components, i.e. the first or second ring and the respectively associated hub part or flywheel ring.
