  • Viscous coupling and power take off assembly for a drive train system
    Patent number: 10843558
    Abstract: A drive train system includes a source of rotational energy, a viscous coupling and power take off assembly that is rotatably driven by the source of rotational energy, and a rotatably driven device that is rotatably driven by the viscous coupling and power take off assembly. The viscous coupling and power take off assembly may include a power take off that is rotatably driven by the source of rotational energy and a viscous coupling that is rotatably driven by the power take off. Alternatively, the viscous coupling and power take off assembly may include a viscous coupling that is rotatably driven by the source of rotational energy and a power take off that is rotatably driven by the viscous coupling. Lastly, the viscous coupling and power take off assembly may include a combined viscous coupling and power take off assembly that is integrated into a single housing.
