FLYWHEEL MODULE COMPRISING A CENTRIFUGAL DISENGAGING CLUTCH

摘要

A flywheel module (1) has a closed housing (3) with an opening, and an output (5) which is formed by an output shaft (6) that extends outward through the opening. A sealing ring (7) is present between the output shaft and the boundary wall of the opening. A flywheel (9) is accommodated in the housing (3), which flywheel is connected via a clutch (11) to a first gear of a transmission (13) whose other gear is connected to a first portion (15A) of a centrifugal disengaging clutch (15) of which the other portion (15B) is connected to the output shaft (6). With this it be avoided that the flywheel starts to run at too high a speed, which guarantees the safety of the flywheel module.
