A centrifugal pendulum mechanism having a pendulum flange and pendulum masses, which are fastened by bolts on both sides of the pendulum flange and are guided by rollers and can be pivoted slightly relative to the pendulum flange. At least two pendulum masses are arranged on the pendulum flange so as to be circumferentially adjacent. One pendulum mass has a lateral surface that faces the adjacent pendulum mass, and the contour of the lateral surface is at a substantially acute angle.
