A flexible, vibration-damping clutch is proposed, with torque transferred from a drive shaft via a primary part to a secondary part with flexible and/or vibration-damping elements interposed, in which a) the primary part (10) is designed in the form of a disc and is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the drive shaft, b) the secondary part, designed in at least two parts, encloses the primary part (10) in the manner of a housing by an outer part (26) and a cover (27) and, sealed off, is supported on the primary part (10) and is rotatable with respect to the latter, and c) the primary part (10) is supported resiliently with respect to the secondary part (26, 27), recesses (11) provided on the outer circumference of the primary part (10) forming together with corresponding recesses (28, 29) of the secondary part (26, 27) chambers (7) in which helical springs (6) are arranged in a circumferentially directed manner, and the adjustable gap (12, 13, 30) formed between primary part and secondary part at the end faces and outer circumferential faces, is filled in a defined manner with a fluid of high viscosity. Such a clutch can be designed in such a way that the volumes of the chambers (7) can be varied by sealing off, forming a restricting channel in each case in the bearing region of the helical springs (6), and the chambers (7) are filled in a defined manner with a fluid of low viscosity. <IMAGE>
