Abstract

A torsional vibration absorber comprising a hub for attachment to a shaft and an oscillating ring. The oscillating ring is disposed concentrically with the hub and, together with the hub, delimits an annular gap. The hub and the oscillating ring are connected via connecting members made from an elastomeric material. The connecting members are offset in a circumferential direction and disposed in the annular gap. The connecting members include a bead-shaped middle portion, which is connected to the oscillating ring and to the hub via thin webs.
