  • Publication number: 20090127040
    Abstract: A torsional vibration damper with a primary side and a secondary side, wherein rotation of the primary side relative to the secondary side causes displacement of hydraulic fluid from at least one displacement chamber and compression of pneumatic fluid in at least one compensating chamber. A first displacement chamber assembly includes a pair of axially opposed end walls bounding each displacement chamber in both axial directions and a circumferential wall bounding it in one radial direction, and a second displacement chamber assembly bounds it in the other radial direction. A sealing arrangement is provided between the end walls and the second displacement chamber assembly to produce an essentially fluid-tight closure of the at least one displacement chamber.
