A damper device includes: a pressing plate; a rotation plate disposed to oppose the pressing plate; an elastic member elastically linking the pressing and rotation plates, and in which bending is generated when relative twist of the pressing and rotation plates is generated; and seats provided on both end surfaces of the elastic member The seat has a projected surface, the pressing plate has a recessed surface corresponding to the projected surface, the seats and the pressing plate come into surface-contact with each other in a case where the relative twist is not generated, one seat and the pressing plate come into surface-contact with each other, and a void is formed between the other seat and the pressing plate, in a case where the relative twist is generated, and the void increases as an angle of the relative twist increases.

Damper device

In a positive torsion angle region in which a torque is transmitted from an engine side, a small hysteresis torque is generated at all times. Therefore, torsional vibrations of a small amplitude occurring during idle operation can be effectively attenuated by the small hysteresis torque, without switching to a large hysteresis torque, for example, during idle operation of the engine. As a result, the driver can be prevented from feeling uncomfortable due to switching to a large hysteresis torque during idle operation, and drivability can therefore be improved.

Damper device for vehicle

A damper apparatus according to an embodiment includes a pair of first plates, a second plate, an elastic member, a first friction material and a second friction material. The elastic member is configured to elastically deform in a circumferential direction of a rotation axis by a relative rotation between the pair of first plates and the second plate around the rotation axis. The first friction material is configured to generate a first friction torque in a case where the second plate rotates relative to the pair of first plates in a first direction from an initial state. The second friction material is configured to generate a second friction torque greater than the first friction torque in a case where the second plate rotates relative to the pair of first plates in a second direction which is opposite from the first direction from the initial state.

Damper apparatus

A damper device includes a first member, a second member, an elastic member and a supporting member. The first member has two wall members separated from each other. The supporting member includes projections (preventing portion) that make contact with one of two wall portions (wall members) so as to prevent the supporting member and an elastic member from being inclined (falling, rotationally moving) in the axial direction.

The dynamic vibration absorber includes a rolling element that is positioned at an inner side relative to the first elastic portion and the second elastic portion in a radial direction of the rotation axis, and is rotatable relative to the second rotation member.
