The first and second central axial lines are in parallel with and offset from each other, and the external gear teeth are identical in number to the internal gear teeth of the wobble removal gear. At least one of the two sets of the gear teeth are resiliently deformable in a circumferential and/or radial direction so as to allow the two gears to be meshing with each other while permitting an eccentric wobbling movement of the external gear relative to the internal gear without requiring a play or a sliding engagement. The wobble removal shaft coupling device can be incorporated in a hypocycloid reduction gear device.

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 ( ).
