ABSTRACT:
A fan clutch assembly for a vehicle includes a flexible, ferromagnetic valve plate for controlling fluid flow through a pump plate into a shear zone. When an electromagnetic coil is energized, the resulting flux deflects the valve plate away from the pump plate to open fluid gates in the pump plate. When the coil is de-energized, the valve plate returns to its original engagement position against the pump plate to close the fluid gates.
