Abstract: A coupling device is provided for transmitting a torque between a drive element and a clutch, for example of a motor vehicle. The coupling device includes a first shaft and a second shaft being coupled together in a positive fit. The device is equipped with an elastic element which in the positive-fit connection generates a pre-tension to suppress rattling noises.

Abstract: A clutch assembly and damper arrangement is provided that includes a driver hub and a driven element coupled to the driver hub by a compliance element. A clutch is provided that is selectively engageable to the driven element. The clutch has a housing supporting the compliance element and is torsionally unitary with the driven element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a coupling device for transmitting a torque between a drive element and a clutch, for example of a motor vehicle. Said coupling device comprises a first shaft (17) and a second shaft (15) that encompasses the first, said shafts being coupled together in a positive fit. According to the invention, the device is equipped with an elastic element (15, 17, 81, 84, 85, 87, 88), which in the positive-fit connection generates a pre-tension to suppress rattling noises.

Abstract: A torsional-vibration damper T is adapted to be connected to a crankshaft 2 of a motor vehicle. The torsional-vibration damper T includes a primary element 5 of a drive side thereof connected indirectly or directly to the crankshaft 2 substantially free of play in an axial direction “ax.” A secondary element 6 of an output side of the torsional-vibration damper T is substantially coaxially coupled rotatably and spring-elastically to the primary element 5 for transmission of rotational movement.

Abstract: A torsional-vibration damper rotatably supported for translating torque between a prime mover and the input of a transmission that includes a primary element operatively connected for rotation with the power take off of a prime mover and a secondary element operatively connected for rotation with the input to a transmission. A spring mechanism is operatively disposed between the primary element and the secondary element that is adapted to operatively couple the primary element to the secondary element in a damped torque translational relationship. The torsional-vibration damper also includes a friction device having a plurality of friction blocks that are each operatively supported between the primary element and the secondary element such that the friction blocks provide frictional contact between the primary element and the secondary element.

Abstract: A torsional-vibration damper includes a primary element operatively connected for rotation with a prime mover and a secondary element operatively connected with the input to a transmission. A spring mechanism is operatively disposed between and adapted to control the primary element and the secondary element in damped torque translational relationship. The torsional-vibration damper also includes a friction device having a plurality of fiction blocks that frictionally join the primary element with the secondary element. The secondary element includes an output-side member having a first axial ridge and a drive-side member having a second axial ridge. The output-side member and the drive-side member operatively encompass the primary element and the first axial ridge overlaps the second axial ridge. The first and the second axial ridges thereby cooperate to provide a double layer of radial support for the spring mechanism.

Abstract: A torsion-vibration absorber for use with a motor vehicle includes a transmission element at a driving end and a transmission element at a driven end adapted to be rotary deflected around an axis to the transmission element at the driving end. At least one compression spring connects the transmission element at the driven end with the transmission element at the driving end. At least one reinforcing component is encompassed by at least a portion of the at least one compression spring and includes a securing device to substantially limit displacement of the at least one reinforcing component in relation to the at least one compression spring.
