ABSTRACT:
A torsional vibration damper of the type that incorporates a plurality of radially extending springs in chambers containing damping fluid. The springs flexibly connect an inner hub with an annular outer component comprised of two rings fastened in abutting relation. Opposed recesses in the rings form spring receiving chambers. The outer ends of the springs are clamped either by shims or spring seating wedges acting against the side walls of the recesses, thus eliminating the need for a peripheral clamping ring holding the springs in clamped relation.
