# Damping of mechanical drive train

## Abstract

A damping mechanism for providing vibration damping between coaxially mounted first, outer, shaft and second, inner, shaft of a drive train. The damping mechanism includes a friction disk, a Belleville spring and an adjustment shim arranged to be mounted under a pre-load force within the first shaft exerting a force against the second shaft, the damping mechanism arranged to be secured in the first shaft by a locking nut.
