Abstract
The fluid friction clutch, especially fan clutch, comprises for the temperature-dependent controlling of its shear fluid cycle a bimetallic element (35) which is to be displaced in its longitudinal direction for installation in a retaining fitting (37). A clip (63) fitted on to the retaining fitting (37) after the installation of the bimetallic element (35) blocks the path of introduction of the bimetallic element (35) and thus secures the bimetallic element (35) against unintentional release out of the retaining fitting (37).
