Abstract

A damping device ( 1 ), particularly for a dual mass flywheel, comprising a first component ( 2 ) and a second component and a friction device ( 4 ) arranged therebetween, wherein the second component has two distanced surfaces ( 5, 6 ) and the first component is arranged between the surfaces, also comprising a third component ( 8 ) which is also arranged between the surfaces. When the third component and first component move towards each other, they are braced in such a way that surfaces of the first and third component are pressed against surfaces of the second component.
