Hydraulic coupling having self-adjusting anti-rotation hydraulic fluid path

A hydraulic coupling (10) for use in a vehicle drive train having a fluid path (48) which extends between the housing (12) of the hydraulic coupling (10) and a coupling mechanism (30). The fluid path (48) includes a first aperture (50) formed in the housing (12) with a first diameter and a longitudi...

Summary:A hydraulic coupling (10) for use in a vehicle drive train having a fluid path (48) which extends between the housing (12) of the hydraulic coupling (10) and a coupling mechanism (30). The fluid path (48) includes a first aperture (50) formed in the housing (12) with a first diameter and a longitudinal axis (A), as well as a second aperture (52) formed in the coupling mechanism (30). A rigid conduit (54) extends between the first and second apertures (50, 52) with a first portion having a diameter that is less than the first diameter of the first aperture (50) so as to define an adjustment gap (G) that allows the rigid conduit (54) to move out of alignment with the longitudinal axis (A) in response to misalignment between the first and second apertures (50, 52). In addition, the rigid conduit (54) provides resistance to torque imposed upon the coupling mechanism (30).
