ABSTRACT:
A friction coupling which utilizes a friction plate composed of high modulus asperities incorporated into a reboundably compressible elastomeric matrix for selective rotational engagement with a relatively noncompressible reaction plate between which is directed a flow of fluid with the asperities hydrodynamically wedging such fluid into a relatively thin load supporting film between the asperities and the reaction plate which film absorbs substantially all of the energy of engagement in the shearing effect of the fluid during relative rotation of the plates.
