A torsion damping assembly which is installed between the crankshaft of the engine and the input shaft of the change-speed transmission in a motor vehicle has two coaxial flywheels which are rotatable within the limits relative to each other against the opposition of two series-connected dampers. One of the dampers has an input element in the form of two coaxial discs which are affixed to one of the flywheels and bear against the radially outwardly extending arms of a flange-like torque transmitting output element constituting the input element of the other damper. The output element of the other damper is constituted by two discs which are disposed radially inwardly of the discs of the one damper, which directly or indirectly bear against the adjacent portion of the flange-like output element of the one damper, and which rotate with the other flywheel.

A torsion damping assembly for taking up and compensating for fluctuations of torque which is transmitted between the internal combustion engine and the clutch in a motor vehicle, comprising a plurality of flywheels including a first flywheel arranged to receive torque for the engine and a coaxial second flywheel arranged to transmit torque to the clutch, said first and second flywheels being rotatable relative to each other; first and second damper means interposed between and arranged to yieldably oppose angular movements of said first and second flywheels relative to each other, said first and second damper means respectively comprising a first and a second pair of discs which are spaced apart from each other in the axial direction of said first and second flywheels, the discs of said first pair being distinct from said flywheels and being arranged to share the angular movements of one of said first and second flywheels and the discs of said second pair being distinct from said flywheels and being arranged to share the angular movements of the other of said fist and second flywheels, the discs of one of said pairs being disposed at least in part inwardly of the discs of the other of said pairs in the radial direction of said first and second flywheels; and means for connecting said first and second damper means in series, comprising a disc-shaped torque transmitting component disposed axially between the discs of said first and second pairs, said component being turnable with reference to each of said first and second flywheels and said first damper means further comprising first energy storing means interposed between said component and said one flywheel by way of the discs of said first pair, said second damper means further comprising second energy storing means interposed between said component and said other flywheel by way of the discs of said second pair.
