A torsional vibration damper, for example a twin mass flywheel ( ), has an input element ( ) and an output element ( ) which are relatively rotatable against the action of a damping means which includes a plurality of linkages ( ). Each linkage includes a plurality of interconnected links ( ), at least one of which is flexible in an axial sense relative to the remainder of the damper to accommodate forces applied to the flexible link as a result of relative tilting of the damper elements ( ) during use of the damper. Various designs of generally radially extending flexible bob weight links ( ) and additional connecting links ( ) are disclosed.
