ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a viscous shear coupling (e.g. for use as a fan drive comprising an annular driving member, usually in the form of a disc having a hub portion for mounting on a driving shaft, a driven member having an internal annular chamber receiving said annular driving member, with facial planar and circumferential surfaces of said chamber and opposing facial planar and circumferential surfaces of said driving member at least in part being in close-spaced relationship, said driven member being axially and radially located for rotation relative to said driving member, viscous coupling fluid in said chamber, and a 0.0005 to 0.0015 inch thick layer of non-metallic anti-friction material on at least those parts of said facial planar and circumferential surfaces of said annular chamber which are in close spaced relationship, thereby forming journal and thrust bearing means for the relative rotation of the driving member and the driven member.
