Abstract
A clutch plate comprises a hub 1, side plates 9 rotationally fast on the hub, a friction lining carrier plate 15 between the side plates and moveable rotationally relative thereto, which movement is resisted by circumferential springs 14, and a viscous coupling arranged to provide torsional damping between the lining carrier plate and side plates. The viscous coupling comprises a housing with an inner part 4 on the hub, and an outer part 15a rotatably supported on the inner part and rotationally fast with the lining carrier element, and a plurality of interleaved plates 5 operating in a viscous liquid. The viscous coupling is accommodated between axially separated parts 10 of the side plates 9.
