1. A radial vibration damper comprising:

  • a first inertia member and a second inertia member fixedly connected to one another to define an annular channel having a radially facing, open side;

    a spring damper material seated in the annular channel in axial compression between the first inertia member and the second inertia member;

    wherein the spring damper material has a compressible portion thereof protruding from the annular channel through the radially facing, open side and the compressible portion is exposed for contact in radial compression against a shaft;

    wherein the compressible portion exposed for contact in radial compression against the shaft defines a gap separating the shaft a distance apart from the first and second inertia members.
