  • Patent number: 9677607
    Abstract: A damping device for a shaft in rotation around an axis of rotation parallel to a direction (A). The said damping device includes a support, a plate, a collar, and clamping means. The said support is stationary and is provided with a first opening, with the said plate being provided with a second opening and the said collar being provided with a third opening. The said shaft passes simultaneously through the said first, second, and third openings with, respectively, a first radial gap, a second radial gap, and a third radial gap, with the said third radial gap being smaller than the said first and second radial gaps. The said collar is movable with respect to the said support in a plane perpendicular to the said direction (A), with the said clamping means pressing the said plate against the said collar and the said collar against the said support.
