Abstract

A centrifugal pendulum includes a pendulum carrier arranged rotatably about an axis of rotation and a plurality of pendulums distributed over a circumference of the pendulum carrier. The plurality of pendulums are received on the pendulum carrier so as to be able to move along pendulum paths with a predefined pendulum mass. A spring element acting in a circumferential direction, and with a predefined spring rate, is provided between two adjacent pendulums in the circumferential direction. The pendulums and the spring elements are adjusted to a predefined excitation order taking into account the gravity acting on the pendulums.
