  • Patent number: 9664251
    Abstract: A coupler for translating a rotational force, including first and second rotational elements. The first rotational element defines a first pocket. The second rotational element is in axial alignment therewith and defines a second pocket facing the first pocket. The first pocket and the second pocket define a dampening chamber therebetween that varies in volume based on the overlap thereof. A fluid is positioned in the dampening chamber. A portion of the fluid is dispelled from the dampening chamber when the first rotational element rotates relative to the second rotational element and decreases the volume of the dampening chamber.
