An isolating torque coupler includes a drive element assembled between annular cage elements of a driven element. The cage elements each include a plurality of aligned voids. The drive element includes a hub portion and a plurality of lobes with each of the lobes including a first edge and a second edge. Openings in the drive element are aligned with the voids of the cage elements to accommodate isolator springs. Each isolator spring is a helical coil compression spring having squared ends. A first edge of each of the lobes of the drive element is parallel to a second end of the corresponding one of the voids of the driven element. A second edge of each of the lobes of the drive element is non-parallel to a first end of the corresponding one of the voids of the driven element.

A turbine damper assembly, for a torque converter, includes a driven plate and an intermediate plate. The driven plate engages and drives the intermediate plate through elastic drive elements. The driven plate includes an axially extended, circumferentially oriented, driven plate flange that both centers the intermediate plate with respect to the drive plate and also assists in containing the elastic drive elements in circumferential curved cavities during and after assembly of the turbine damper assembly.

A torsional vibration damper, including: an axis of rotation; a drive plate; an output flange; and a spring retainer plate including a first side facing in a first axial direction, a second side facing in a second axial direction, and a plurality of spring stops formed of a same material forming the spring retainer plate. Each spring stop: extends from the first side at least partially in the first axial direction; and includes first and second circumferentially separated end surfaces separated, in the first axial direction, from the first side by first and second gaps, and a plurality of springs. Each spring includes a first circumferential end engaged with a respective first end surface and a second circumferential end engaged with a respective second end surface. The spring retainer plate partially surrounds the plurality of springs and retains the plurality of springs in a radially outward direction.

摘要:
A clutch disc which serves to transmit torque between an axially movable pressure plate and a rotary counterpressure plate of a friction clutch in a motor vehicle has at least one damper including an input component having friction linings engageable by the pressure plate and the counterpressure plate when the clutch is engaged, an output component which is coaxial with and rotatable relative to the input component and can transmit torque to the input shaft of a variable-speed transmission in the vehicle, and energy storing means interposed between and opposing rotation of the input and output components relative to each other. The input and/or the output component includes at least one substantially disc-shaped torque transmitting member which is of one piece with a portion having several resilient tongues which are deformable in the direction of the common axis of the input and output components and form part of a friction generating device.

A friction clutch for a drive train of a motor vehicle generally has a torsional damper with at least one hub and hub disc concentric to an axis of rotation, and cover plates located on both sides of the hub disc which are non-rotationally connected together and held at a distance from one another. Coil springs can be located in apertures of the hub disc, on one hand, and in the cover plates on the other hand. The apertures can be designed so that the coil springs, located in the apertures of the cover plates, in spite of the fact that the coil springs are held without stress on their ends, cannot come loose from the apertures. To achieve this, the edges with which the ends of the respective coil springs come in contact can be provided with indentations which are designed for the radial release of the respective outermost windings of the coil springs.

A torsion damping device in a clutch plate is fitted with an interposing element comprising two movable centrifugal plates. According to the invention, the two movable plates are connected to one another by at least one transmission element which is rotatable relative to the plates in such a way that a radial displacement of one of the movable plates causes rotation of the transmission element and a radial displacement in the opposite direction of the other movable plate.
摘要:
A spring damper drive for a clutch driven disc assembly. The assembly includes a pair of spaced outer covers connected to a generally cylindrical central hub. An annular support plate is disposed about the hub between the outer covers and is rotatable relative thereto throughout a limited distance. The outer covers and the support plate each have respective pluralities of openings formed therethrough. The openings are adapted to be aligned with one another so as to receive and retain respective pairs of dampening coil springs therein. Each spring opening is shaped generally in the form of a truncated sector, having a linear inner wall oriented perpendicularly to a bisecting radius of the outer cover, a pair of end walls extending perpendicularly outwardly from each end of the linear inner wall, and an arcuate outer wall connecting the two end walls. The peripheries of the spring openings formed in the two outer covers are defined by flanges which extend thereabout in opposed fashion. The radially outermost corners of each of those flanges are formed having shoulders which extend inwardly from the arcuate outer wall. The shoulders are provided to re-position the ends of the coil springs according to the amount of compression thereof caused by rotation of the support plate relative to the outer covers. As a result, the springs are properly positioned throughout relatively large amplitudes of angular displacement of the support plate relative to the outer covers, and premature wear of the springs is avoided.
摘要:
A minimum complexity vibration damper that integrates the function of structural components and reduced lag in a vibration damping system. This assembly utilizes pressure plate formations for spring seats and the configuration of the pressure plate for spring retention. The reactor plate or hub is designed to concentrate spring unit loading on the hub and away from other components of the assembly, thereby decreasing lag. A spring retainer plate may be utilized in conjunction with the hub and pressure plates.
