Abstract
A torque fluctuation absorber includes a first plate member to which power of rotation is transmitted from a first rotational shaft, a second plate member arranged at a preset distance from the first plate member, a third plate member arranged between the first plate member and the second plate member and configured to transmit power of rotation to a second rotational shaft. The torque fluctuation absorber also includes a fourth plate member arranged at a preset distance from the second plate member, and a resilient member arranged between the second plate member and the fourth plate member and configured to bias the second plate member towards the third plate member. The resilient member includes a first end abutting against the second plate member in an area where the second plate member faces the third plate member in the axial direction, and a second end abutting against the fourth plate member.
