The requirements for the design of dual-mass flywheels

Abstract

In the modern powertrains with new low emission combustion engines, the effort to reduce emissions and weight of the entire system increase the efficiency of vehicle drives but also make the drive much more sensitive to vibration. The new design concepts of dual-mass flywheels offer more options for eliminating vibration in vehicle drive systems. Every design of the dual-mass flywheel must ensure that it has the appropriate characteristics. A suitable characteristic then creates a prerequisite for application in a drive in which the resonance area can be moved to very low operating speed.
