Fluid Couplings

Advantages of Fluidomat Fluid Couplings:

• Wear-free power transmission because of absence of mechanical connection between the input and output elements.
• No-load start-up of motor irrespective of machine load. Motor peak torque utilized for machine acceleration.
• Motor selection to operating HP rather than starting loads. Saving on energy cost and capital cost.
• Simple control of maximum or limiting torque by easy variation of oil filling.
• Added protection for motor and driven machine by limiting torque to a predetermined safe value.
• Automatic unloading of prime mover in case of any sustained overload, by blowing-off of fusible plug on coupling, thus draining out oil.
• Automatic synchronisation and load sharing in case of multi-motor drives
• Effective dampening of shocks, load fluctuations and torsional vibrations. Helpful in improving the drive duty conditions in machines subjected to shock loads, frequent load changes, startups and reversals.
• Smooth and controlled acceleration of driven machines. Important for machines such as conveyors, wire drawing and textile machines.
• Stepless speed variation in wide range obtained in scoop type fluid couplings.
• Continuous clutching and declutching of large drives obtained from SC type couplings.
• Economy on machine and drive designs.
• ENERGY SAVING
