Abstract
A vibration damper assembly used in a torsional coupling between driving and driven members providing a low rate, high amplitude deflection, wherein the damper assembly includes a hub operatively connected to a driven shaft and having arms, at least one floating equalizer journalled on the hub, drive tangs connected to a driving member, and two or more groups of damper springs interposed between the drive tangs, hub arms and floating equalizers. To separate the damper springs in an equalizer, a spring separator or divider is mounted for limited arcuate movement in opposed arms of the equalizers.
