Abstract
A torsional vibration damper mounted at a crankshaft of an engine is provided. The torsional vibration damper comprises a hub having a first mounting surface and a second mounting surface opposite to the first mounting surface, an inertia ring and an elastomer element disposed between the hub and the inertia ring. The hub includes a first mounting hole configured to receive the crankshaft, and at least one slot spaced apart from the first mounting hole. The slot is configured such that a center-of-gravity of the torsional vibration damper is offset from a central axis of the crankshaft.
