Abstract
A centrifugal-force pendulum device having a pendulum flange and at least two pendulum masses fastened on both sides of the pendulum flange by means of a spacer bolt received in a cut-out of the pendulum flange to form a pendulum mass pair, wherein the pendulum mass pair is guided and pivoted in a limited manner with respect to the pendulum flange by means of at least two rolling elements, and the rolling elements are received and roll in guide tracks in the pendulum masses and in complementarily shaped guide tracks in the pendulum flange, and wherein the spacer bolt is equipped, in its axial region which reaches through the cut-out in the pendulum flange, with damping means for damping contact of the spacer bolt against the cut-out, and compression of the damping means is limited by contact of a rolling element against the guide track which receives the rolling element.
