Abstract
A torsion damper, especially for a motor vehicle, comprises coaxial primary and secondary parts mounted for relative rotation or one with respect to the other. A circumferentially acting resilient element, at least partially mounted within a cavity formed in a sealing element, acts between the primary and secondary parts via a torque limiter. The torque limiter comprises a damper plate fixed with respect to one of the primary and secondary parts, and two counter plates secured together with suitable fasteners. The two counter plates frictionally embrace the damper plate, and the sealing element is secured to the counter plates by the fasteners.
