Abstract:
Friction clutch device including, on the one hand, a rotational drive flywheel (13) featuring a front extremity intended to be fixed to a drive shaft (11), consisting of the output shaft of an internal-combustion engine of a motor vehicle including an engine-block (62), and a rear extremity in the form of a hollow-shaped reaction plate (4) with a central recess (39) delimited externally by a friction face (37), and, on the other hand, a friction disc (20) comprising, at its outer periphery, at least one friction lining (16) for contact with the friction face (37) of the reaction plate (4), the said friction lining (16) being integral with a support (21) coupled to a central hub (15) tended to be fastened in rotation with a driven shaft consisting of the input shaft of a motion gearbox including a clutch bell housing (14) at least partly surrounding the reaction plate (4), characterised in that the drive flywheel (13), between its front and rear extremities, carries the rotor (6) of a rotating electrical machine (2) comprising a fixed stator (5); in that the reaction plate (4) extends in a radial direction with respect to the inner periphery of the rotor (6) and is offset axially with respect to the rotor (6); and in that a spacer (61) internally carries the stator, the said spacer being intended to be fastened with at least one of the engine-block (62)/clutch bell-housing (14) elements.
