ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a fluid friction clutch having front and rear working gaps, which are connected to one another in a manner which provides more continuous and uniform distribution of the torque-transmitting viscous medium between the gaps. The clutch includes at least one bore through the drive disk which separates the front and rear working gaps. The bore is positioned in annular grooves which are provided in the drive disk at the same radial distance as the bore and which further include baffles positioned in the grooves to block the flow of fluid around the annular grooves and to promote flow through the bore. A similar groove/baffle arrangement is provided as a return means on the rear side of the drive disk near to the outer periphery.
