Abstract
The electric retarder comprises a stator (1) mounted through a frame (11) to a casing (4) of a vehicle drive axle and a rotor with two disks (2) supported by a central plate (17), which plate is mounted on a collar (8) fitted on the end of a stub-shaft (3) extending from the casing and is coupled to a universal joint. For assembling the plate to the collar and the end flange (24) of the universal joint to the plate, and to close the jaw (23) of this universal joint formed by two bearing blocks (26) and two clamps (27), on the corresponding journals, recourse is had to twelve screws, namely four screws A, four screws B and four screws C staggered angularly by about 30.degree. with respect to each other about the axis X of the retarder.
