A torsional vibration damper or torsional vibration absorber has a rotating system with: a primary mass, which is arranged on a rotatable shaft, for example on a crankshaft of an engine, in particular of an internal combustion engine, and preferably can be fastened for conjoint rotation; a secondary mass, which is movable relative to the primary mass; and an assembly for vibration damping and/or vibration absorption of the relative movement between the primary mass and the secondary mass. The assembly for vibration damping and/or vibration absorption of the relative movement between the primary mass and the secondary mass has at least one accumulator inside the rotating system of the torsional vibration damper or torsional vibration absorber.

Torsional vibration damper

A viscous torsional vibration damper includes: a) an annular damper housing, which bounds a damper chamber; b) an inertia ring arranged in the damper chamber; c) a bearing device, which supports the inertia ring in the damper housing and which has at least one bearing element with an axial bearing region and/or a radial bearing region, d) a shear gap between the inertia ring and the damper housing, which shear gap is filled with a viscous fluid, e) wherein a plurality of the axial bearing segments and/or a plurality of the radial bearing segments is circumferentially distributed on the at least one bearing element.
