<p>The liquid friction coupling (1) operates with two groups of discs (2, 3) engaged in each other, which are arranged within a closed cylindrical casing field with a working liquid subjected to shearing. At least one front wall (10) of the coupling casing is configured as a spring membrane to compensate for the thermal expansion of the working medium and to modulate the pressure. Thereby, the membrane may, in its radially outer area, adhere against an elastic element (15), preferably a seal. The spring characteristics of the elastic front wall result consequently from the proper spring characteristics as well as from those of the elastic elements. </p> |
