Abstract:
A torque variation suppressing apparatus includes a rotation element, and a plurality of first elastic elements and second elastic elements which apply elastic forces to the rotation element. With a rotation of the rotation element, a torque applied to the rotation element from each of the first elastic elements and the second elastic elements changes periodically, and a phase of the torque applied to the rotation element from at least one of the first elastic elements and the second elastic elements is changed so that an overall torque characteristic applied to the rotation element is set variable.
