Abstract

A torsion damping mechanism with a torsion damper with an input side and an output side, which are connected elastically to each other by spring-type stored-energy elements, and with an auxiliary mass which can rotate coaxially to the torsion damper. A combination bearing has a first bearing section for supporting the input side and the output side against each other, and a second bearing section for supporting the auxiliary mass.
