Abstract
Absorbers for rotating shafts, particularly for universal-joint propeller shafts in motor vehicle construction, are formed with a segmented elastomer ring interconnecting an outer inertia ring and an inner hub ring. The inertia ring is connected to the hub ring with two to six connecting links made of elastic material which, in axial cross-section, primarily have the outer contour of a radially aligned and tangentially constricting 'X'. Surface complementary buffer webs are placed between the connecting links and form a comparatively close equidistant parting gap in relation to the neighboring connecting links and to the opposing surface of the hub ring.
