ABSTRACT:
A torsional vibration damper with a plurality of transmission elements which are rotatable relative to one another about a common axis of rotation. The relative movement of the transmission elements carried out by the deflection of coupling elements which are displaceable between the transmission elements along at least one guide path in the circumferential direction and which are in a working connection with the two transmission elements for this purpose. The guide path which is provided on at least one of the transmission elements is provided with a curvature which serves to receive a coupling body which is provided at the other transmission element and which is preferably formed with its own curvature at least along its rolling area facing the guide path. A predetermined elasticity is provided at least at one of the two structural component parts--guide path/coupling body--at least along a partial area of the respective curvature so that, when loaded by the other structural component part, a deformation is achieved for adapting the shape of its curvature to the shape of the curvature of the other structural component part.
