  • Patent number: 9702430
    Abstract: An apparatus for damping of a flywheel, which is configured so that a second mass may rotate in a direction for offsetting torsional vibration of an engine transmitted to a first mass through a damping spring. The apparatus includes: guides disposed between damping springs and guiding the damping springs extending/contracting in a rotational direction by a damping operation; and a third mass arranged coaxially with the second mass, with one end connected to the guide, and relatively rotating in a direction for offsetting torsional vibration of the engine transmitted to the second mass.

  • Patent number: 9074655
    Abstract: An apparatus for damping a flywheel includes a drive plate integrally connected to a crankshaft. A flywheel is connected to receive a rotating force from the drive plate through planetary gearing, and is mounted to rotate relative to the crankshaft. A rigidity imparting means is disposed on a path along which a rotating force is transferred between the drive plate and the flywheel. A mass body is provided on the flywheel, and is configured to perform relative rotation in a direction that offsets a torsional vibration of an engine transmitted to the flywheel.
