  • Publication number: 20170276222
    Abstract: A torque converter that is downsized in an axial direction utilizing existing space is provided. A pump impeller, a turbine runner, a lockup clutch, an elastic damper, and a planetary unit are held in a housing. A torsional vibration damping device is arranged concentrically with the lockup clutch. An input element is arranged concentrically with the lockup clutch while being connected to the lockup clutch and a drive member. An output element is connected to a driven member.

  • Publication number: 20170114858
    Abstract: There is provided a vibration damper which is capable of damping torsional vibrations by pendulum movement of a plurality of inertial masses, and damping vibrations of plurality of order without letting the inertial masses to interfere. A distance between a center of curvature of an inner surface of a first through-hole and a center of curvature of an inner surface of a second through-hole formed in a rotary member is shorter than a distance between a center of curvature of an inner surface of a fifth through-hole and a center of curvature of an inner surface of a sixth through-hole formed in a first inertial mass. Moreover, a distance between a center of curvature of an inner surface of a third through-hole and a center of curvature of an inner surface of a fourth through-hole in a rotary member is longer than a distance between a center of curvature of an inner surface of a seventh through-hole and a center of curvature of an inner surface of an eighth through-hole formed in a second inertial mass.
