Abstract
A torsional vibration damper for operation in an oil bath comprising an input flange for connecting to a drive motor, an output flange for connecting to a transmission, and a bow spring for the torsionally elastic coupling of the input flange to the output flange, where the bow spring is in contact radially on the outside with an encircling holding device that is formed on one of the flanges. At the same time, the holding device has an opening in the area of the bow spring, in order to enable a flow of oil through an area of contact of the bow spring with the holding device.
