Abstract

A clutch disc with torsional vibration damper is proposed in which synthetic plastics material guide parts are arranged between a hub disc protruding from a hub and two side discs arranged axially on both sides of the hub disc, which guide parts, stressed axially by a spring, fix the side discs axially on the hub disc and guide them radially on the hub, by means of formed-on collars. The guide parts are coupled rotationally elastically through springs of an idling damper with the hub disc and at the same time determine the friction moment in idling.
