Abstract
The damped flywheel comprises two coaxial masses (1, 2) which are mounted for rotation of one with respect to the other against a torsion damper device (3), with one of the masses comprising a central nose (4, 40) projecting axially and penetrating into a central aperture (5, 50, 51) of the other mass, With support member(s) (6) being interposed between the said nose and the said aperture. These member(s) (6) comprise at least one plain bearing (70, 62 to 66) in the form of a hard, semi-crystalline polyetheretherketone material such as ARLON, for the rotary mounting of the mass having the central aperture (5, 50, 51) on the mass having the central nose (4, 40).
