Abstract
A torque absorber is described for absorbing a rotational torque that occurs when tubular elements are screwed together, the torque absorber comprising at least one cylinder and at least one piston movably arranged in the cylinder. The at least one cylinder is curved in the longitudinal direction of the cylinder and the at least one piston has a corresponding curved shape, such that the at least one piston can be moved into and out of the at least one cylinder. There is also described an apparatus comprising one or more torque absorbers for absorbing a rotational torque that occurs between two parts in the apparatus on the screwing together of tubular elements.
