To prolong the operational life of the device by sending the lubricating oil used for flywheel bearings to and for the use of the clutch/brake device and thereby saving separate installation of the lubricating system or the oil feeding system.
A clutch/brake device 36 during the operation maintains a prescribed oil level inside by using an oil scraper 82. With the outside housing 84 rotating with the flywheel 32, the oil and the like sticking to the clutch/brake device 36 are thrown away outside the rotation. The oil from the flywheel bearings 78 covers the prescribed element of the clutch/brake device 36 with an oil film, eliminating unwetted free clearance between them. A clutch assembly including a clutch facing 54 is arranged in the oil in accordance with the position of the oil scraper 82 and the size of the clutch assembly, for example.
