ABSTRACT:
A compliant drive for powering a cooling fan of an internal combustion engine includes a rotatable fan hub having a running surface for receiving a drive belt powered by the engine and a torque sensing clutch mounted to the hub and having an output flange adapted for mounting a fan thereto. The clutch is adapted to allow the transmission of torque from the hub to the output flange, but not to allow the transmission of torque from the output flange to the hub.
