Abstract

A vibration damping device for a drive system of a motor vehicle includes a base body rotatable about an axis of rotation (A) and a deflection mass arrangement arranged in the base body having at least one deflection mass and a deflection path associated with the at least one deflection mass and along which the at least one deflection mass is movable during rotation of the base body about the axis of rotation. The deflection path has a vertex area and deflection areas emanating from the vertex area in opposite directions. The deflection areas proceed from the vertex area in substantially opposite axial directions.
