Abstract
A torque fluctuation absorber includes a damper portion absorbing a torque fluctuation between the output shaft and the input shaft with an elasticity thereof, and a limiter portion arranged on the power transmission path from the damper portion to the input shaft, configured to slip when the torque fluctuation by a torsion between the output shaft and the input shaft equals or exceeds a predetermined torque defined to absorb at the damper portion. The damper portion includes a center plate transmitting a rotational power to the limiter portion, side plates receiving the input of the rotational power from the output shaft, an elastic member absorbing the torque fluctuation caused by the torsion between the center plate and the side plates. The side plates directly or indirectly connect to a flywheel that connects to the output shaft at a circumferential portion outward in a radial direction relative to the damper portion.
