Abstract
A fluid friction clutch includes a driving element and a driven element which is rotatably supported on the driving element and which is entrained by the driving element with fluid friction by a drive disk in a working space. A locking device is disposed between the driving element and the driven element, and includes a coupling rod having first and second ends. First and second joints are provided for rigidly connecting the first and second ends of the coupling rod to the driving element and the driven element, respectively. A balance weight or another coupling rod is arranged diametrically opposite the coupling rod on the driven element.
