Abstract

A rotational damper for a motor vehicle, includes a gyro element which includes a first shaft mounted such that it can be rotated with respect to a first component and is connected to a second component which performs a relative movement with respect to the first component, wherein the first shaft has a frame, in which a second shaft lies orthogonally and is mounted rotatably, wherein the second shaft has a frame, in which a third shaft is mounted orthogonally with respect to the second shaft and such that it can be rotated in the second frame, wherein the second shaft and the third shaft are each connected to a shaft drive, and the third shaft has an inertia weight, wherein a rotation of the second shaft by the second shaft drive brings about a change in the angular velocity or the moment of the first shaft which is connected to the second component.
