The invention relates to a flywheel for stabilising the position of a spacecraft, comprising a hub means (1) for fastening the flywheel, a flywheel ring (4), which externally surrounds the hub means (1) circumferentially at a distance, a support means (3) for supporting the flywheel ring (4) on the hub means (1), and a vibration damping device (6, 8) having a tuned mass damper means (8) which is axially movable back and forth relative to the flywheel ring with respect to a rotation axis of the flywheel.

A vibration damper that damp vibrations transmitted between a drive unit and a support body. The vibration damper comprises: an elastic member interposed between the drive unit and the support body; a rotor supported by the drive unit or the support body; and a vibration translating mechanism that rotates the rotor and reciprocates the rotor between the drive unit and the support body, in response to the vibrations acting in a vibrating direction to isolate the drive unit and the support body away from each other and bring the drive unit and the support body closer together.

A torque fluctuation inhibiting device is disclosed. The torque fluctuation inhibiting device includes an input member, an elastic member, a mass body and a centrifugal element. The input member includes a pair of input plates disposed in axial alignment. The input member is disposed to be rotatable. The elastic member is held by the pair of input plates. The mass body is disposed to be rotated with the input member and be rotatable relative to the input member. The centrifugal element is disposed to be radially movable by a centrifugal force acting thereon in rotation of the input member. The centrifugal element is disposed between the pair of input plates.

The invention relates to a torsion damping device including: a first coaxial part and a second coaxial part, springs acting circumferentially between the first coaxial part and the second coaxial part, a plurality of seats, at least one of the seats is a seat that can be mounted in a first orientation and in a second orientation, this seat being a worn seat mounted in the second orientation and exhibiting traces of wear caused by previous use in the first orientation.

The invention relates to a device for damping vibrations, for a motor vehicle transmission drivetrain, comprising: a first element and a second element (2) that are rotationally movable around a rotation axis X; elastic damping means having an elastic blade (13, 14) mounted rotationally integrally with the first element (3); and a rolling body movable with respect to the second element so that a curvilinear trajectory can be executed on at least a predetermined angular sector (A), the curvilinear movement of the rolling body with respect to the second element being accompanied by a movement of the rolling body on the elastic blade, causing the latter to flex.

A converter unit having a damping system and having a torque transfer unit for connecting an input shaft separably to an output shaft, wherein the torque transfer unit has a co-rotating housing and the damping system can be installed centered and detachably on the housing is provided. With the converter unit proposed here standard components can be used, which are compact and easily installable.

A torsional vibration damping arrangement has an input-side connection component, an output-side connection component, a first torque transmission path arranged between the input-side connection component and the output-side connection component, a second torque transmission path arranged parallel to the first torque transmission path between the input-side connection component and the output-side connection component ( ), a phase shifter arrangement and a torque adjusting arrangement ( ). The phase shifter arrangement is arranged in the first torque transmission path or second torque transmission path and is configured to generate a phase shift of rotational irregularities guided via the first torque transmission path relative to rotational irregularities guided via the second torque transmission path. The torque adjusting arrangement is configured to change a torque transmission ratio between a first torque component which is transmitted via the first torque transmission path and a second torque component which is transmitted via the second torque transmission path.

A clutch arrangement is provided with a mass damper system having a damper mass carrier and damper masses deflectable relative to the damper mass carrier. The clutch arrangement has a housing having at least two housing parts permanently connected to one another by a fixed connection, at least one housing parts has a cutout for at least one projection of the other housing part. The housing parts are assembled while receiving the damper mass carrier between an axial stop of the cutout of the one housing part and the projection of the other housing part. The housing parts are loaded over the course of producing the fixed connection by a clamping mechanism which acts on the housing parts in direction away from one another and operative axially between one of the housing parts and the damper mass carrier axially supported at the other respective housing part.
