The present invention generally relates to the attachment of a centrifugal mass or a modular clutch to the output end of a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine. For this purpose, axially-oriented gear teeth can be introduced in both parts, e.g. a serration, and there can be a central screw element which can extend into a threaded portion in the crankshaft. The present invention teaches that an axially-oriented spring bias can be applied to both parts to create a reliable connection between the parts of the gear teeth.

Arrangement for the attachment of a flywheel to a crankshaft

The invention relates to a method of assembling a friction clutch, wherein the clutch housing is centered with a cylindrical portion on a cylindrical guide of the flywheel and the axially correct position is found by axial application and measurement of the initial tension of the clutch main spring and the clutch housing and flywheel are rigidly connected to one another in this state.
