Abstract

A torsion damping flywheel, particularly for fitting to the clutch of a motor vehicle, has two parts mounted for relative rotational movement about a common axis including an output part comprising two discs forming part of a torque limiter which define externally two guiding flanges housing springs for controlling the relative movement of the two parts. The arrangement simplifies the flywheel by reducing the number of component parts and the axial space requirement.
