The present invention relates to a torsional vibration damper (18) comprising a first component (20) and a second component (22) which are torsionally elastically coupled to one another, wherein a force transmission device (26) is provided for transmitting an actuating force from the one axial side (48) of the torsional vibration damper (18) to the opposite axial side (50) of the torsional vibration damper (18) to a device (54) to be actuated. In addition, the present invention relates to an arrangement (2) for the drivetrain of a motor vehicle comprising such a torsional vibration damper (18).

The invention relates to a torsional damper (210) in a clutch disc arrangement (200) arranged to indicate damping performance of the torsional damper (210). The torsional damper (210) comprises a driven plate (211), an output hub (212), intermediate friction plates (213) arranged on either side of the driven plate (211) and a resilient member (214) arranged to press the intermediate friction plates (213) against the driven plate (211) or against the output hub (212) with a pressure force. The intermediate friction plates (213) and the resilient member (214) are rotationally fixed to the output hub (212) or the driven plate (211) forming a rotationally fixed stack (213, 214, 212; 213, 214, 211). The rotationally fixed stack (213, 214, 212; 213, 214, 211) comprises a detection friction plate (215) rotatably decoupled from the rotationally fixed stack (213, 214, 212; 213, 214, 211) and arranged in the rotationally fixed stack (213, 214, 212; 213, 214, 211).

A torque limiter fixed to a flywheel including an annular portion and an accommodation portion is disclosed. The torque limiter includes a first plate, a second plate axially opposed to the first plate, a friction disc disposed between the first and second plates, a pressing member, and a third plate. A torque is inputted to the first plate. The pressing member presses the second plate onto the friction disc. The third plate supports the pressing member with the second plate therebetween while the pressing member is compressed. The third plate includes a support portion supporting the pressing member and a tubular portion provided in an outer peripheral part of the support portion. The tubular portion covers an outer peripheral surface of the friction disc. The tubular portion axially extends and is opposed to an inner peripheral surface of the annular portion of the flywheel, and includes first openings circumferentially aligned.

The torque limiter includes a first plate, a second plate axially opposed to the first plate, a friction disc disposed between the first and second plates, a pressing member, and a third plate. The pressing member presses the second plate onto the friction disc. The third plate holds the pressing member together with the second plate therebetween. The third plate includes knock pin through holes such that the knock pin are fitted therein. The third plate is attached at an attachment surface thereof to the flywheel. A length between a surface of the pressing member, facing an interior of an accommodation portion of the flywheel, and the attachment surface of the third plate is shorter than a length of the trunk portion of each knock pin.

The present damper device includes a large hysteresis mechanism, generating a large hysteresis torque, and a hysteresis inhibiting mechanism. In a positive-side torsional region, when relative rotation is performed until reaching a maximum torsion angle from a neutral position, the hysteresis inhibiting mechanism deactivates the large hysteresis mechanism until the relative rotation reaches a first torsion angle from the neutral position, but activates the large hysteresis mechanism until the relative rotation reaches the maximum torsion angle from the first torsion angle; and when the relative rotation is performed until reaching the neutral position from the maximum torsion angle, the hysteresis inhibiting mechanism deactivates the large hysteresis mechanism until the relative rotation reaches a second torsion angle less than the first torsion angle from the maximum torsion angle, but activates the large hysteresis mechanism until the relative rotation reaches the neutral position from the second torsion angle.
