<p>A split tube for use in a fluid friction assembly, such as a clutch or brake, includes a tube body 20 with end caps 46,48 disposed at each end. The end caps 46,48 seal the ends of the tube, and further provide a means to connect the two end caps. This arrangement allows the tube to be placed about the shaft of a friction assembly, and then formed into a continuous ring. The ends of the tube are connected, and will not be flung radially outwardly at high rotational speeds. <IMAGE></p> |
