Abstract:
1. A vibration-damping device comprising a link and a support; the link comprising a body that is elongated along a longitudinal axis between a first sleeve and a second sleeve that are part of the body, in which said link at least the first sleeve surrounds an inner strength member, said inner strength member is being mounted to move relative to the body of the link, about an axis of rotation, by a flexible coupling interposed between said strength member and the first sleeve, a passageway passing through the inner strength member substantially along the axis of rotation; and the support having at least one fixing tab provided with a fixing orifice, in which device the link and the support are positioned so that the passageway passing through the inner strength member faces the fixing orifice; wherein the link and the support are assembled together by at least one fixing shank extending along the axis of rotation and force fitted in the fixing orifice, each fixing shank has an outside surface over which fluting is distributed that extends longitudinally parallel to the axis of rotation and in at least a portion of the passageway so as to hold the link on the support and so as to prevent the inner strength member from rotating relative to the support.
