NOVA bus driveline system 1

[schiao]

There's a donut/flywheel shaped component between the drive shaft yoke and the differential carrier. I believe it's called a damper. I do not know details on how this component works. If anyone has information on such a component, please let me know. I'm also interested in knowing a manufacturer that makes such a device. The part number of the damper that's currently on the NOVA bus is STAHL TRANSDAMPER TD-641007

Thank you so much

Correction. The component is between the yoke and a transfer gear box that connects to a diesel engine on the other end.

It could be doing any number of things, but it is probably either a torsional harmonic damper or a torsionally compliant coupling.

People who make or sell these would include Freudenberg, Coopers, Dana or GKN depending on where you are in the world. Talk to your local driveshaft/UJ manufacturer
