A viscous clutch (20) includes a housing assembly (28), a rotor assembly (26), a reservoir (38) to hold a supply of a shear fluid, a working chamber (40) operatively positioned between the housing assembly and the rotor assembly, and a fluid return bore (26-1B) that optionally extends radially through at least an outer diameter portion of the rotor assembly to the working chamber. Selective introduction of the shear fluid to the working chamber facilitates selective torque transmission between the housing assembly and the rotor assembly. The fluid return bore can form at least a portion of a fluid return path (50) from the working chamber to the reservoir.

A viscous clutch comprising: a housing assembly;a rotor assembly;a reservoir to hold a supply of a shear fluid, the reservoir carried by the housing assembly;a reservoir cover defining a portion of a boundary of the reservoir;a working chamber operatively positioned between the housing assembly and the rotor assembly, wherein selective introduction of the shear fluid to the working chamber facilitates selective torque transmission between the housing assembly and the rotor assembly;an outlet bore in the reservoir cover to allow the shear fluid out of the reservoir to the working chamber along a fluid delivery path; anda fluid return bore that extends radially through at least an outer diameter portion of the rotor assembly to the working chamber, the fluid return bore forming at least a portion of a fluid return path from the working chamber to the reservoir. 2. The viscous clutch of claim 1 and further comprising: an electromagnetically actuated valve assembly configured to controllably translate a first valve element that controls flow of the shear fluid between the reservoir and the working chamber. 3. The viscous clutch of claim 2 and further comprising: a second valve element configured to be actuated concurrently with the first valve element to further control flow of the shear fluid between the reservoir and the working chamber. 4. The viscous clutch of claim 1 and further comprising: an electromagnetic coil assembly positioned adjacent to the housing assembly, wherein the electromagnetic coil assembly includes first and second windings each having terminals electrically connectable in a configuration selected from the group consisting of series and parallel, for operation at different voltages. 5. The viscous clutch of claim 1, wherein the rotor assembly comprises: a disk, wherein the fluid return bore extends radially through at least a portion of the disk; anda bearing hub connected to the disk for co-rotation therewith, wherein the bearing hub extends beyond the housing assembly to provide a mounting location for an output member. 6. The viscous clutch of claim 1 and further comprising: a pulley connected to the housing assembly for co-rotation with the housing assembly. 7. The viscous clutch of claim 1 and further comprising: a rotationally fixed journal bracket having a shaft portion;a first set of tapered roller bearings for rotationally supporting the housing assembly on the shaft portion of the journal bracket; anda second set of tapered roller bearings for rotationally supporting the rotor assembly on the shaft portion of the journal bracket. 8.
