Abstract
A two-mass flywheel includes a device (11) that in series with a slip friction clutch (13) couples a secondary mass (5) rotationally-elastically to a primary mass (1). The slip friction clutch (13) includes two side disks (25, 27), similar to cup springs, that engage opposite faces of a center disk (21) at the same effective diameter. The two side disks (25, 27) are preassembled to make a subassembly in which the spring preload can be adjusted after assembly.
