Abstract
A damped flywheel which comprises a primary part and a secondary part rotatably mounted with each other. A first annular component is associated with the primary part. A second annular component is associated with the second part. Resilient springs are disposed between and in engagement with the first and second annular components. The first annular component is mounted to define a dead clearance in which there is no operation of the resilient spring and an abutment defines the range of annular displacement of the dead clearance.
