Claim 0:
1. An internal viscous rotational damping (VRD) assembly for transmitting torque from a drive member connector to a load member connector, wherein the drive member connector is rigidly coupled to a driving input shaft, and wherein the load member connector is rigidly coupled to a driven output shaft, the internal VRD assembly comprising:
a spacer tube including a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is rigidly connected to the drive member connector, wherein the second end is rigidly connected to the load member connector, wherein the spacer tube is configured to continuously transmit torque from the driving input shaft to the driven output shaft, and wherein the spacer tube includes a longitudinal axis and an inner surface that extends along the longitudinal axis; and
a damper bar disposed within the spacer tube, wherein the damper bar includes an outer surface, wherein a cavity is defined between the outer surface of the damper bar and the inner surface of the spacer tube, and wherein the cavity is configured for receiving a viscous fluid.
