Disengageable module for a system for transmitting a starting torque to an internal combustion engine

A system for transmitting a starting torque to an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, the engine having a crankshaft, the system comprising:

• a starter motor,
• a ring gear connected to the starter motor and to the engine crankshaft, and
• a disengageable module including:
• an inner ring configured to couple with the crankshaft and having a raceway,
• an outer ring configured to couple with the ring gear and having a raceway, and
• at least one free wheel having a plurality of wedging elements mounted between the raceways of the inner and outer rings, and
• means for centering the inner ring and the outer ring relative to each other and for transmitting radial loading, the centering and transmitting means being mounted at least partially between the inner ring and the outer ring such that radial clearances are defined between the means and the inner ring.

A disengageable module for a system for transmitting a starting torque to an internal combustion engine, the system including a ring gear connected to the crankshaft of the combustion engine, the module comprising:

• an inner ring configured to couple with the crankshaft and having a raceway,
• an outer ring configured to couple with the ring gear and having a raceway, and
• at least one free wheel having a plurality of wedging elements mounted between the raceways of the inner and outer rings, and
• at least one bearing positioned radially between the raceway of the inner ring and the raceway of the outer ring and configured to center the inner ring relative to the outer ring and to transmit radial loads, wherein the at least one bearing is spaced from the inner ring by a gap.
