Abstract
A flywheel arrangement with a drive-side transmission element and a driven-side transmission element which is rotatable relative to the drive-side transmission element includes at least one annular added mass fastened to at least one of the transmission elements. In order to produce the added mass, a blank formed from strip material is shaped in its longitudinal direction to form a ring, so that the corresponding ends of the blank are directed toward one another with a predetermined intermediate gap and are fixed in this position relative to one another by a retaining mechanism.
