A variable stiffness torsion damper uses radial helical springs to filter vibrations in automatic transmissions.
Deflection mass carrier uses conical guide bodies to maintain axial centering while enabling friction-free radial movement.
Resonator members on a tubular shaft dissipate vibration as heat, eliminating additional resonances from cantilevered masses.
Angularly varying spoke thickness concentrates material at high-load positions, increasing hub strength by 15% while reducing TVD mass.
A vibration damping system uses a friction brake to absorb kinetic energy from rotating flyweights, preventing rebound and stabilizing torque transmission.
Force-fitted spacers join pendulum mass parts, eliminating protruding rivets that weaken load-bearing sections and increase overall dimensions.
Curved support member reduces stress concentration in torque converter lock-up device, enabling trilinear stiffness for vibration attenuation.
