Two-mass flywheel<br />

S<strong>248</strong>_061<br />

A spring damper system within the two-mass<br />

flywheel separates the primary inertia mass from<br />

the secondary inertia mass so that the torsional<br />

vibration produced by the engine is not<br />

transmitted to the gearbox.<br />

On W engines with automatic transmission, the<br />

two-mass flywheel is substituted by a converter<br />

plate.<br />

Tooth gap<br />

Pulse sensor wheel<br />

<strong>The</strong> two-mass flywheel also serves as a sender wheel. Its job is to determine the engine speed and<br />

recognise cylinder No. 1 together with the Hall senders of the camshafts. It has a larger tooth gap which<br />

serves as a marker point. This point is registered by the engine speed sender located in the gearbox<br />

housing during each revolution of the two-mass flywheel.<br />
