A torque limiter, fixed to a flywheel including an annular portion to which knock pins each including a trunk portion are fixed, 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. 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.

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.

A torque limiter embedded damper device includes a torque limiter unit and a damper unit. The damper unit includes a first rotor, a second rotor, and a stopper mechanism. The second rotor includes a flange axially opposed to the first rotor. The stopper mechanism restricts an angle of relative rotation between the first rotor and the second rotor to a predetermined angular range. The stopper mechanism includes a cutout and a stop pin. The cutout is provided in the flange of the second rotor. The stop pin is fixed to the first rotor. The torque limiter unit includes a friction plate having an annular shape. The annular friction plate is fixed at an inner peripheral part thereof to an outer peripheral part of first rotor or the second rotor by a fixation member. The fixation member is fastened in a state of penetrating the cutout of the flange.

A torque limiter for a drivetrain includes a friction lining, a drive side, and an output side, connected to the drive side by the friction lining until a limiting torque is reached. The torque limiter also has a first friction surface on the drive side or the output side, a first contact surface between the friction lining and the first friction surface, a second friction surface on the other of the drive side or the output side, and a second contact surface between the friction lining and the second friction surface. The first contact surface has a first mean friction radius and the second contact surface has a second mean friction radius, different than the first mean friction radius. When the limiting torque is exceeded, the friction lining is positioned slidingly on the first friction surface, and the friction lining is frictionally connected to the second friction surface.

A dynamic vibration absorber is configured to be attached to a rotary member. The dynamic vibration absorber includes a base member, a mass body, and a torque limiting part. The base member is rotatably disposed. The mass body is attached to the base member so as to be rotatable relatively thereto. The torque limiting part limits transmission of a torque to be inputted into the base member from the rotary member.

A power transmission device includes a flywheel, a torque limiter unit, and a damper unit. The torque limiter unit includes first and second side plates and a friction plate. The first side plate is attached to the flywheel. The first side plate is disposed on a first axial side to the flywheel. The friction plate is disposed axially between the first side plate and the second side plate. The damper unit includes input rotational bodies, an output plate, and an elastic member. The output plate is disposed axially between the first side plate and the flywheel.

A spring damper for a motor vehicle drive train includes a primary part, a secondary part, a hub element, a first overload protection coupling operatively inserted between the secondary part and the hub element and a second overload protection coupling. The secondary part is rotatably received relative to the primary part in a spring-damped manner. The first overload protection coupling includes an output and the second overload protection coupling is operatively inserted between the output and the hub element. The second overload protection coupling is arranged radially within the first overload protection coupling. The first overload protection coupling is closed below a threshold of a torque to be transmitted, and the first overload protection coupling releases a relative rotation between the secondary part and the hub element above the threshold.
