A torque fluctuation inhibiting device configured to inhibit torque fluctuations is disclosed. The torque fluctuation inhibiting device comprises a first rotor, a second rotor disposed to be rotatable relative to the first rotor, a centrifugal element, and a cam mechanism. The centrifugal element is configured to receive a centrifugal force generated by rotation of the first rotor. The centrifugal element is disposed to be movable with respect to the first rotor.

The two rollers each include a ring supported by the first oscillator and a shaft extending along a second center of rotation inside the ring and rotatably supported by the ring. The shaft comes into contact with a corresponding one of the two guide surfaces of the second oscillator pushed outward in the radial direction by centrifugal force, rolls along the corresponding one of the two guide surfaces by oscillation of the first oscillator, and is pushed by the corresponding one of the two guide surfaces in the circumferential direction.

A device for inhibiting torque fluctuations includes a mass body disposed in alignment with a rotor in an axial direction. The mass body is rotatable with the rotor, and is also rotatable relatively to the rotor. The device includes a centrifugal element that receives a centrifugal force to be generated by rotation of the rotor and the mass body. A cam mechanism includes a cam and a cam follower.
