Abstract
A centrifugal pendulum device includes a pendulum mass carrier, which is rotatable about a rotation axis, and at least one pendulum mass, which is supported on the pendulum mass carrier for movement along a track between end stops which are spaced from one another in circumferential direction in relation to the rotation axis. A spring device urges the pendulum mass in one of the end stops, when the rotation speed of the pendulum mass carrier drops below a limit rotation speed.
