A torsion damping assembly which is installed in a motor vehicle between the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine and the input shaft of the change-speed transmission has two coaxial flywheels one of which receives torque from the crankshaft and is rotatable, within limits, relative to the other flywheel which transmits torque to the input shaft of the transmission by way of a friction clutch. The flywheels are rotatable within limits relative to each other against the opposition of a damper and about the axis of a self-aligning or self-adjusting antifriction bearing one race of which is biased axially by a diaphragm spring reacting against the one or the other flywheel. The antifriction bearing surrounds a centrally located protuberance of the one flywheel and extends into a centrally located recess of the other flywheel. Such bearing can stand long periods of use because it holds the flywheels against wobbling and/or other stray movements relative to each other.

A damping assembly, particularly for taking up and compensating for fluctuations in the transmission of torque between the internal combustion engine and the change-speed transmission of a motor vehicle, comprising a plurality of coaxial flywheels which are rotable within limits relative to each other and include a first flywheel arranged to receive torque from the engine and a second flywheel arranged to transmit torque to the transmission; damper means arranged to yieldably oppose rotation of said first and second flywheels relative to each other; and a bearing device interposed between said first and second flywheels and including at least one self-adjusting antifriction bearing.
