Friction clutch device comprising double damping flywheel having secondary assembly fixedly mounted axially relative to reaction plate

A friction clutch device (10) for coupling a first drive shaft (12) to at least one second driven shaft (14A) and providing at least one free relative axial clearance of the first drive shaft (12) in relation to the second driven shaft (14A), the friction clutch device comprising a double damping flywheel (24) comprising:

• a primary torque intake assembly (38) fixedly secured axially on a front end section of the first drive shaft (12);
• a secondary torque output assembly (40) connected in rotation to a reaction plate (20) of the clutch device (10), and supported by a rear end section of the at least one second driven shaft (14A), the secondary assembly (40) being fixedly secured axially relative to the reaction plate (20);
• and
• at least one resilient unit (64) with circumferential action provided in a peripheral receptacle (58) of the primary assembly (38), in order to connect the secondary assembly (40) to the primary assembly (38) in rotation, with circumferential damping;
• the reaction plate (20) axially fixed relative to the at least one second driven shaft (14A), such that the secondary assembly (40) fixed axially relative to the at least one second driven shaft (14A);
• the secondary assembly (40) fitted in the primary assembly (38) with sufficient axial play (J1) to permit free axial clearance of the first drive shaft (12) relative to the at least one second driven shaft (14A) without interference between the primary assembly (38) and the secondary assembly (40).
