ABSTRACT:
A cooling fan drive for the motor of a vehicle has a fan drive hub with the fan blades at the front end and a bracket at the rear end for mounting on the motor. An internal friction clutch connects the fan blades to an external casing formed with grooves to receive driving belts. The clutch is operated by a pneumatic ram at the rear end of the assembly near the mounting bracket and compressed air to actuate the ram is admitted at the rear end through an air line from a thermostat valve in the coolant circuit.
