Abstract

A torsional vibration damper having a plurality of transmission elements which are rotatable relative to one another about a common axis of rotation. A movement which is conducted to one of the transmission elements can be conducted to the other transmission element by a coupling device which acts in an articulated manner at one of the transmission elements via at least one coupling member. Further, at least one guide path is associated with the coupling device in at least one other transmission element. A thrust element connected with the coupling member for transmitting a movement with a component in the circumferential direction to the transmission element can be guided along this guide path.
