<p>A clutch drive for a vehicle engine cooling fan includes a pulley portion (32) which is driven by the vehicle engine, a fan plate (22) which rotatably mounts the engine cooling fan, and a pressure plate (28) which is yieldably urged into engagement with the fan plate (22) by a series of circumferentially spaced coiled springs (62). A spring stabilizer (72) defines a circumferentially extending cavity (78) which receives several coils of the spring to stabilize the latter and to prevent displacement of the coils circumferentially with respect to each other during engagement and disengagement of the clutch. The stabilizer (72) slidably engages the pressure plate (28) and is mounted on the pulley (32) thereby taking up clearances to prevent rattling and also to transmit torque to the pressure plate (28).</p> |
