Hydrodynamic clutch and method for influencing the torque that can be picked up by the hydrodynamic clutch

摘要

The invention relates to a hydrodynamic clutch which comprises a primary impeller and a secondary impeller which together define a working chamber. The clutch also comprises means for influencing the transmission behavior of the hydrodynamic clutch, especially for influencing the circulation flow in the working chamber, said means comprising at least one baffle plate that extends at least partially into the working chamber. The inventive clutch is characterized in that the baffle plate can be displaced in the axial direction relative to the working chamber.
