Abstract

A method for producing a damper pulley having a boss portion to be press-fitted onto a rotary shaft, an annular main portion extending from the boss portion, a flange portion formed along an outer periphery of the main portion, a ring-shaped damper-mass member located outside the flange portion and a rubber body interposed between the flange portion and the damper-mass member includes the steps of integrally forming the boss portion, the main portion and the flange portion of a metallic plate such that the main portion has a curved section, and has a radial length greater than a straight line distance between the boss portion and the flange portion, placing the rubber body between the flange portion and the damper-mass member, and enlarging the diameter of the flange portion to elongate the main portion having a curved section, thereby the enlarged flange portion presses the rubber body against the damper-mass member.
