Abstract
A torsional vibration damper is used for reducing or eliminating torsional vibrations in a vehicle driveline. A hub portion includes an elongated body with a first axial dimension. A disk portion is supported by the hub portion and has a second axial dimension that is smaller than the first axial dimension of the hub portion. The hub portion preferably is secured to rotate with an engine flywheel and the disk portion preferably is adapted to rotate with a transmission input shaft. The disk portion preferably supports a plurality of damping members, which can be positioned at different radial or axial locations depending on the needs of a particular situation.
