Abstract
A torsional vibration damper for internal combustion engines. An annular inertia member is attached to a hub by an annular elastic member assembly having an interleaf. In one embodiment, the interleaf is thicker at the middle than at its ends. In another embodiment the interleaf is thinner at its middle than at its ends. The elastomer is radially deformed at different axial portions. Axial movement of the inertia member relative to the hub is inhibited, as is sliding out of the elastomer from the inertia and hub members.
