Abstract

A torsional vibration damper has at least one inertia mass, which is connected in a rotation-proof manner to a drive and acts upon an absorption mass. The absorption mass is rotatable relative to the inertia mass and is connected thereto via connecting elements. Associated with the absorption mass is a balancing weight, which is connected via a movement-transmitting transmission to the absorption mass, on the one hand, and to the inertia mass, on the other hand.
