Abstract
A coupling for transmitting torque between two parts has a friction or viscous coupling. The friction coupling is loaded by a piston and rotational member. A shear channel is formed between faces such that viscous fluid contained in the chamber is moved along the shear channels wherein the piston is loaded as a result of shear forces.
