Abstract

A mass damper system includes a damper mass carrier having movable damper mass and a stop. The damper mass moves within a predetermined movement region during an operating state. A first movement region portion bounded by an initial position in which the damper mass is free from a deflection in circumferential direction and by a limit position in which the damper mass has undergone a deflection, and a second movement region portion defined by the limit position and a stop position in which the damper mass has come in contact with the stop. At a side facing the stop, the damper mass has a proximity profile that correspond to a stop profile such that in the first movement region portion the damper mass remains within a residual distance region relative to the stop in one extension portion of the proximity profile.
