ABSTRACT:
A flywheel assembly is provided for transmitting torque from a crankshaft 2 to a main drive shaft 3. The flywheel assembly 1 basically includes a first flywheel 4, a second flywheel 5, a damper mechanism 6, a bearing 17 and a flexible plate 41. The flywheel assembly is designed to suppress the transmission of bending vibrations to the second flywheels. The second flywheel 5 is disposed adjacent to a side of the first flywheel 4 which is remote from the crankshaft 2. The damper mechanism 6 elastically couples the first and second flywheels 4 and 5 together in the circumferential direction. The flexible plate 41 is arranged axially between the first and second flywheels 4 and 5 for supporting the second flywheel 5 with respect to the first flywheel 4. The flexible plate 41 is flexible in the bending direction. The bearing 17 is arranged between the flexible plate 41 and one of the first and second flywheels 4 and 5.
