A fluid coupling is a hydrodynamic device used to transmit rotating mechanical power. It has been used in automobile transmissions as an alternative to a mechanical clutch. It also has widespread application in marine and industrial machine drives, where variable speed operation and/or controlled start-up without shock loading of the power transmission system is essential. They are also sometimes called a Fluid Flywheel.

What is a viscous coupling in a 4 wheel drive?

It is a fluid coupling using a viscous (thicker type) fluid, similar to the coupling between the drive and driven impeller of an automatic transmission in a car.


Why breather is not used in fluid coupling?

Breather is provided where the oil tends to give out fumes after getting heated. in a fluid coupling the fluid is not heated upto that temperature hence not required

Comparison between fluid coupling and torque converter?

They are of similar design, but a fluid coupling simply transmits torque (with some frictional loss), while a torque converter amplifies torque, similar to a reduction gear.


What is scoop coupling?

Scoop coupling is nothing but a fluid coupling works based on the hydro dynamic principle. Scooping is the collecting the oil from the working chamber(space between pump wheel and turbine wheel) which will effects the transmission.
