Abstract
Torsional vibration damper for a motor vehicle friction clutch, the torsional vibration damper having a hub with a hub disc, and cover plates located one on either side of the hub disc, which cover plates are fastened together. The cover plates can be rotated with respect to the hub disc against the force of springs by a specified amount, whereby the radial guidance of the parts which can rotate in relation to one another is provided by preferably one cover plate and a bearing element inserted in a central hole of the cover plate. The bearing element permits a limited radial relative movement of the cover plate with respect to the hub, is designed so that in addition to an axial offset, it can also compensate for an angular offset between the crankshaft and the transmission shaft.
