Abstract
A motor having radial fastening lugs received damping elements which are adapted to be lodged in matching cavities defined within a housing, with each of the said cavities having open radial and axial faces for enabling the said motor to be introduced or removed axially. The device also includes a retaining member, the shape of which is matched to that of the housing, and which includes at least one engagement surface for supporting each damping element in the region of the open axial face of the cavity in which it is lodged, and removable fastening means between the housing and the retaining member, for axially immobilizing each fastening lug within a cavity. The damping elements include on their outer faces a plurality of grooves which enable the retaining member to be trapped axially by the fastening means and, at the same time, elastic decoupling to be obtained in all directions between the motor and the housing.
