Fluid friction coupling for automatic engagement and disengagement of torque transmission, when the input or output side of the clutch exceeds or falls below a difference in speed, in particular for automatic engagement and disengagement of multiple-wheel drives of motor vehicles, with a working fluid consisting of a dilatant fluid, characterized in that the working fluid is an extremely dilatant copolymer dispersion whose characteristic dilation values, namely critical shear rate gamma k and maximum transmissible shearing strain tau max, are stabilized to permanent loading by emulsion polymerization with an additional 5 to 30 wt. %, preferably 8 to 18 wt. %, referred to the finished polymerizate, of (meth)alkyl compounds with at least 2 polymerizable double bonds in the molecule, e.g. dialkylephthalate and/or (meth)alkyl(meth)acrylates as comonomers. |
