Abstract
A twin mass flywheel sub-assembly comprising a pair of axially spaced side plates for connection with an associated first flywheel mass, a force transmitting member for connection with an associated second flywheel mass and being disposed at least partially between the side plates. A plurality of linkages connect the side plates and the force transmitting member, each linkage comprising a first link pivotally connected to the side plates, a second link pivotally connected to the force transmitting member, and a pivot for pivotally connecting the first and second links. The linkages being arranged to move in a generally radially outward direction as the sub-assembly rotates thereby controlling relative rotation of the side plates and force transmitting member. One of the flywheel masses may have cushioning springs to engage the other flywheel mass at the limits of relative rotation of the flywheel masses.
