Abstract
A flywheel, including a first rotating ring that is connectible to a drive shaft and a second rotating ring that is connectible to a driven shaft. The first and the second rotating rings are twistable relative to one another and are supported concentrically one inside the other. Provision is made between the first and the second rotating ring for a torsion spring to suppress torsional vibrations. A speed-adaptive absorber is affixed to the second rotating ring, the speed-adaptive absorber including at least one hub part that is rotatable about an axis of rotation, as well as a plurality of damper masses which are able to swivel at least in the circumferential direction about swivel axes that are set apart from the axis of rotation.
