  • Patent number: 8464680
    Abstract: The disengageable module for a system for transmitting a starting torque to an internal combustion engine, of the type comprising a ring gear connected to the crankshaft of the combustion engine, comprises an inner ring (26) intended to be coupled to the crankshaft, an outer ring (28) intended to be coupled to the ring gear, and at least one free wheel (30) provided with a plurality of wedging elements (34) mounted between raceways of the said rings. It further comprises means (50) designed to provide relative centering of the inner ring (26) and of the outer ring (28) and for transmitting radial load, the said means (50) being mounted at least partially between the inner ring and the outer ring leaving radial clearances between themselves and the said inner ring.

  • Patent number: 8172056
    Abstract: Disengageable pulley device comprising a pulley mounted on a shaft by means of a rolling bearing and of a freewheel, the pulley comprising a rim mounted on the periphery of a one-piece outer race of substantially tubular shape comprising, on an inner surface, at least one raceway for rolling elements and at least one contact seat of cylindrical revolution for lock-up elements of the freewheel, a one-piece inner race forming a torque transmission shaft and including, on an outer surface coming opposite the outer race, at least one raceway for the rolling elements and at least one contact seat of cylindrical revolution for the lock-up elements of the freewheel.

  • Patent number: 7758459
    Abstract: Tensioning roller device including a non-rotating part about which there is rotationally mounted a pulley-forming rotating assembly designed to collaborate with a belt or a chain and a rolling bearing positioned between the non-rotating part and the pulley and including a rotating ring, a non-rotating ring and rolling elements, the pulley including a rigid rim including a first part fixed to the rotating ring of the bearing and a second part that can move with respect to the first part under the action of an elastic element, and an expandable sleeve of annular overall shape designed to be in contact with the belt or the chain, the diameter of the expandable sleeve varying according to how hard it is pressed by the second part.
