viscous coupling
1Viscous coupling unit — A viscous coupling is made up of alternating circular plates. The plates have tabs or perforations in them. The plates are mounted in a sealed drum, and are located very close to each other. The drum is filled with silicone, or some dilatant… …
2viscous coupling — A particular kind of fluid coupling in which the input and output shafts mate with thin, alternately spaced discs in a cylindrical chamber. The chamber is filled with a viscous fluid that tends to cling to the discs, thereby resisting speed… …
3viscous coupling differential — A limited slip differential using viscous couplings as slip inhibiting devices …
4coupling — A connecting device used between two objects so motion of one will be imparted to the other; it may be mechanical, hydraulic, or electrical. Also see doughnut coupling föttinger coupling flexible coupling fluid coupling foettinger coupling guibo… …
5viscous mode — An operating condition in a viscous coupling with inner and outer parts rotating at different speeds, in which a torque is transmitted through the coupling, which corresponds to the value of the resultant shearing velocity …
6coupling differential — See viscous coupling differential …
7viscous-mechanical coupling — Method by which adjacent cilia are synchronized in a field. Coupling is through the transmission of mechanical forces, rather than of a synchronizing signal …
8shaft-to-cage coupling — A viscous coupling design in which the outer disc carrier is connected to the differential cage, while the inner disc carrier is connected to an axle shaft …
9shaft-to-shaft coupling — A viscous coupling design in which the outer disc carrier is connected to the left hand axle shaft and the inner disc carrier to the right hand axle shaft …
10fluid coupling — On a manual transmission, there is a mechanical connection between the engine and transmission through the clutch. On an automatic transmission a fluid coupling provides a viscous fluid to connect the engine output and the transmission. It… …
