Abstract
A torsional vibration isolation mechanism (30, 102 or 200) disposed in a two mass flywheel assembly (100) for reducing the effects of torsionals or vibration in a vehicle driveline and particularly high amplitude torque spikes occurring during resonance mode operation. The assembly includes primary and secondary flywheel assemblies (26,28), a resilient means 30 including a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart coil springs for attenuating torsional vibrations, and a viscous liquid damper 102 or 200 which increases damping in proportion to relative rotational velocity of the flywheel assemblies.
