ABSTRACT:
The apparatus relates to a device for absorbing torque and includes a first flywheel connected to the output shaft of an engine. A second flywheel, concentric with the first flywheel, is supported by a bearing on the first flywheel. A spring mechanism, a hysteretic mechanism and a slip mechanism are provided between the first and second flywheels. A centrifugal clutch is provided between the first and second flywheels for engaging the first flywheel with the second flywheel when the rotating speed of the engine has increased to a predetermined level.
