A lubricated rotational connection system provided with a free-wheel having a driving part and a driven part as well as at least one rotational link member arranged in a linking space, the linking space being located radially between a driving linking section and a driven linking section. A lubrication device comprises a fluid circulation device constrained to rotate with a driven pumping section of the driven part. The fluid circulation device is set in rotation with respect to a driving pumping section when the driving speed of rotation of the driving pumping section is lower than the driven speed of rotation of the driven pumping section about the axis of rotation in order to generate a forced circulation of the lubricating fluid within the linking space.
A rotational connection system provided with a free-wheel, the free-wheel including a driving part and a driven part that are able to rotate about an axis of rotation, the free-wheel including at least one rotational link member arranged in a linking space, the linking space being located radially, relative to the axis of rotation, between a driving linking section of the driving part and a driven linking section of the driven part, the rotational connection system including a lubrication device for lubricating the free-wheel, the lubrication device including a lubricating fluid,
