Abstract

The invention relates to a fluid friction coupling in which the plates to be spaced are fixed via spacing strips which extend along the entire axial length of the package of plate to be spaced. This measure facilitates assembly and the plate package may be pre-assembled and spacer rings to be inserted separately are eliminated.
