A viscous fluid coupling device for controlling the revolutions per minute of a radiator cooling fan in three steps in response to the temperature of an engine. The viscous coupling device includes a rotor driven by an engine, a casing member, a cover member, a labyrinth formed between projections of the rotor and projections of the casing member, a partition plate dividing the interior of the casing member into an operating chamber and a reservoir chamber, a first oil returning passage and a first pump formed in the inner circumference of the partition plate, and a second oil returning passage and a second pump formed in the outer circumference of the partition plate, with temperature-controlled valve apparatus for controlling the passages to thus control the shearing force between the casing member and rotor.
