Abstract
A torque fluctuation absorbing apparatus includes a flywheel coupled to an engine crankshaft, a damper assembly disposed between the flywheel and the driven-side input shaft and including a pair of drive plates, a driven plate and spring dampers, and a torque limiter disposed between the flywheel and the damper assembly and including a pair of linings that are adapted to slip when receiving at least a predetermined amount of torque. In fabricating the apparatus, the drive plates and the linings are centered with each other and assembled into a damper-torque limiter assembly, while the lining support plate is centered with respect to the flywheel, such that the damper-torque limiter assembly is fixed at the lining support plate to the flywheel.
