Abstract
A fiction clutch device comprising a flywheel with a front end designed to be fixed to a vehicle crankshaft () and a rear end in the form of a hollow-shaped reaction plate () with a central recess () externally defined by a friction surface () and a friction disc (), including at its external periphery at least a friction lining () to be in contact with the reaction plate () friction surface (). The friction lining () is integral with a support () elastically coupled via a torque damper () to a central hub () designed to be interlocked in rotation with a driven shaft. The torque damper () penetrates into the reaction plate () central recess () and the flywheel () bearing between its front and rear ends the rotor () of a rotating electric machine () comprising a fixed stator ().
