Fluid Coupling
Fluid Coupling
The Fluid Coupling transmits power between two shafts using fluid to transfer torque smoothly and efficiently. Ideal for applications requiring soft starts and gradual acceleration, it protects machinery from shock loads and mechanical stress. Commonly used in conveyor systems, pumps, and heavy-duty machinery, the Fluid Coupling ensures smooth operation, reduces wear, and enhances equipment longevity by minimizing sudden torque fluctuations.
Specifications:
Torque Capacity: Up to 100,000 Nm (depending on model and size)
Fluid Type: Standard oil or synthetic fluid, tailored to specific industrial needs
Operating Speed: Up to 3,500 RPM (varies based on specific design)
The Fluid Coupling is a highly efficient device used to transmit mechanical power between two shafts without direct contact, utilizing the flow of fluid to transfer energy. It consists of two main components: an impeller connected to the driving shaft and a turbine connected to the driven shaft. These components are housed in a casing filled with fluid, which allows for a smooth transfer of torque through the fluid’s kinetic energy. This type of coupling is designed to provide a soft start and protect the connected machinery from shock loads and mechanical stress, making it ideal for applications that require smooth acceleration and deceleration.
Fluid couplings are particularly valuable in applications where the load needs to be gradually increased, such as in conveyor systems, pumps, and heavy-duty machinery. By allowing for variable speed and torque transmission, fluid couplings are excellent for reducing mechanical wear and tear, minimizing the risk of damage during startup, and offering protection against sudden torque fluctuations.
Constructed from high-quality materials, the Fluid Coupling is built for durability and reliability in demanding industrial environments. It’s often used in industries like mining, marine, and material handling, where consistent, controlled power transmission is required for optimal equipment performance.
Key Features:
Fluid-Based Power Transmission: Uses the kinetic energy of fluid to transmit torque smoothly and efficiently between shafts.
Shock Load Protection: Provides protection to machinery by absorbing shock loads and reducing mechanical stress during startup.
Soft Start: Gradually increases torque to the driven equipment, minimizing wear and tear on motors and other connected components.
Applications:
Conveyor Systems: Perfect for handling the gradual torque transmission required in conveyor belts, reducing strain on the system.
Pumps and Compressors: Ideal for controlling the acceleration and deceleration of pumps and compressors, ensuring smooth operation.
