Abstract

A torsional oscillation damper having first and second damping members mounted for rotation about a common rotational axis and a coupling member arranged in torque transmitting engagement therebetween, the coupling member being in fixed rotative engagement with the first damper member and capable of being axially displaced relative to at least one of the damper members in the direction of the rotational axis. A spring device operates to apply a force to the coupling member against the axial direction of displacement thereof and the coupling member is movable over an axial slip surface between the coupling member and the second damper member acting during relative rotation between the coupling member and the second damper member.
