TORSIONAL VIBRATION ISOLATION FOR AUTOMOTIVE CLUTCH DAMPERS USING ANTI-RESONANCE

초록

This paper presents the preliminary study on the new type of passive torsional vibration isolator used for automotive clutch dampers. In this study, the proposed working principle for vibration isolation is to take advantage of anti-resonance. The new way of isolating torsional vibrations is to insert a planetary gear (PG) set between two main inertia elements (impeller, and turbine). The PG set is designed based on a conventional coil spring dampers. This study provides a state-of-the-art technology for passive torsional vibration isolators for suppressing the torsional vibration induced by an internal combustion engine.
