Abstract

An absorber for damping vibrations in a rotating component includes a primary part connectable to the rotating component so as to be fixed against rotation relative thereto; an absorber mass; the primary part and the absorber mass being couplable to one another via a damping and spring coupling so that the absorber mass is rotatable to a limited extent relative to the primary part; at least two antifriction bearings for mounting the absorber mass on the rotating component; the two antifriction bearings being nested within one another, so that one of the antifriction bearings is seated on a larger radius than the other; and an intermediate ring disposed in a radial direction between the two antifriction bearings.
