With the rapid development of productive forces and the increasing degree of modernization, energy consumption increased dramatically, leading to energy crisis and rising energy prices, making energy-saving has become one of the major technical issues which the world today is facing. Hydro-Viscous Drive is a new type of fluid transmission technology developed in recent years. It uses exists between the friction slices of passive film shear function to transfer power, can work under conditions in the slippery, stepless speed, and can realize the passive synchronization transmission between shaft and transmission efficiency, fast response speed, high precision, high reliability, and so on in the project has a wide application prospect.
This article describes the hydro-viscous drive 's operating principle, basic structure, composition, functions and some parts of the design theory. And done a detailed design, calculation, Test for the the passive part of the host that the 400KW power level, 1500rpm rotational speed of the hydro-viscous drive
