An isolating decoupler comprising a hub, a pulley journalled to the hub, a torsion spring having a first torsion spring end welded directly to the hub, a wrap spring having a first wrap spring end welded directly to a second torsion spring end, a wrap spring outer surface fictionally engaged with a pulley inner surface, and a wrap spring second end temporarily engagable with the torsion spring first end whereby the frictional engagement between the wrap spring outer surface and the pulley inner surface is progressively released as a torque load increases.

The disclosure relates to a belt pulley decoupler for transmitting torque between the belt of a belt drive and a shaft in driving connection therewith. The belt pulley decoupler includes a hub, a belt pulley, and a series circuit of a helical torsion spring, a wrap-around band, which surrounds the helical torsion spring with a radial gap, and a driver sleeve, which surrounds the wrap-around band and transmits the torque between the wrap-around band and the helical torsion spring. An outer periphery of the wrap-around band is in frictional contact with an inner lateral surface, which rotates conjointly with the belt pulley, and the outer periphery of the wrap-around band is also in frictional contact with the inner lateral surface of the driver sleeve. An end of the helical torsion spring is in contact with a radially inwardly extending spring plate of the driver sleeve.

A drive wheel, comprising a drive disk, which has a traction-means connection region; and a shaft connection region, which can be rotated relative to the traction-means connection region against damping action of a torsional vibration damping device having a spring accommodation chamber. The spring accommodation chamber is filled with lubrication medium and is closed via a cover. The cover has a groove facing the drive disk and containing a sealing means.

A decoupler is disclosed for transmitting a drive torque from a rotary drive to a rotary output. The decoupler may include a first spring collar arranged on a drive-part side of a first end of a coil torsion spring and a second spring collar arranged on an output-part side of a second end of the coil torsion spring. The spring collars include axially ascending ramps, and the ends of the coil torsion spring resting thereon widen the coil torsion spring radially with transmission of a drive torque. The ends of the coil torsion spring and the spring collars include reciprocal rotary stops that prevent a relative rotation of the second spring collar with respect to the second coil torsion spring end and of the first coil torsion spring end with respect to the first spring collar.

A crankshaft damper for attachment to one end of a crankshaft of an engine. The crankshaft damper includes an elastomeric member attached to a hub, and an inertia ring connected to the hub through the elastomeric member. Several different structures for cooling the elastomeric member are disclosed that dissipate heat away from the elastomeric member. Air flow is induced near the elastomeric member by providing air flow openings in the inertia ring or the elastomeric member.

A transmission module for a hybrid drive vehicle adapted to be interposed between an internal combustion engine and a vehicle transmission has a tray-like support structure defining a housing for a decoupling clutch and adapted to be fixed to the internal combustion engine. A module drive is carried by the support structure and has a first transmission member adapted to be connected to the decoupling clutch by means of a torsional vibration damper and has a second transmission member adapted to be connected to an electric machine. The torsional vibration damper has an actuator defining a centering with respect to the crankshaft and to a transmission torque converter and has a seat for a support bearing with respect to the support structure.

The disclosure relates to a belt pulley decoupler for transmitting torque between the belt of a belt drive and a shaft in driving connection therewith. The belt pulley decoupler includes: a hub fastened to the shaft, a belt pulley rotably mounted on the hub, helical torsion spring arranged in a torque flow path between the belt pulley and the hub, a first spring plate extending in the torque flow path on a side of the belt pulley, and a second spring plate rotationally fixed to the hub.

The hub has an imbalance which compensates for an imbalance of the helical torsion spring resulting from a ground portion of the spring ends in such a way that the following relationship applies for the spring imbalance {right arrow over (U)}s and the hub imbalance {right arrow over (U)}b.

|{right arrow over (U)}s+{right arrow over (U)}b<|{right arrow over (U)}s|

A damped isolation pulley having a hub, a pulley disposed concentrically about the hub, an isolation spring, an inertia ring and an electro-adhesive clutch. The hub is configured to be mounted to a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine. The isolation spring is formed of an elastomeric material and couples the pulley to the hub. The inertia ring is resiliently coupled to the hub and is rotationally de-coupled from the pulley. The electro-adhesive clutch has a clutch input member that is coupled to the pulley and can be operated to form an alternate torque path between the pulley and the hub that does not include the isolation spring.

A decoupler is provided that includes a pulley around which a belt is wound. A sprag limiter is fixed to an interior circumference of the pulley and has protrusions formed at predetermined intervals in a circumferential direction on an interior circumference thereof. A sprag hub is disposed in the sprag limiter and has first apertures formed at predetermined intervals from an interior circumference to an exterior circumference thereof. A shaft hub is disposed in the sprag hub and has second apertures that are formed to correspond to the first apertures from an interior circumference to an exterior circumference thereof. Sprags having lower end portions are each inserted into the second apertures, central portions are each inserted into the first apertures, and upper end portions are in contact with the interior circumference of the sprag limiter, and allow the shaft hub to rotate in one direction based on the pulley movement.

A belt pulley decoupler is provided which is to be arranged on a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine and has a hub provided for coupling to the crankshaft, and a connecting flange of which a distal face is in abutment with the hub in order to transmit torque from the hub to a belt pulley. The connecting flange having a geometry to facilitate a form fit for torque transmission both on the distal face and also on a proximal face which is intended to come into contact with a torsional vibration damper.
