An electromechanical damper for a vehicle for damping between two components mechanical oscillations by which a drive torque is transmittable to an electric generator for generating a damping force includes first and second gearboxes in the form of planetary gear trains, each having a sun wheel, with the sun wheels being connected to end faces of a rotor of the generator, respectively. A stator housing forms a gear element which is integrated in the first and second gearboxes. The sun wheel, ring gear and planet wheels of the first and second gearboxes are each provided with helical teeth in axial direction, with the helical teeth of the sun wheel of one of the first and second gearboxes and the sun wheel of the other one of the first and second gearboxes being directed in opposition to one another.
