Fluid coupling manual

A properly-selected and filled fluid coupling can provide an initial starting torque ideally matched to the needs of the driven machine. Attainable initial starting torque values range from 40% of normal running load minimum, up to a maximum initial starting torque value that equals the full breakdown torque of the motor. Overload protection. The fluid coupling operates in an optimum range with ambient temperatures between – 20 °C to + 40 °C. For higher or lower temperatures please consult with KTR/Engineered Business. Operating medium oil Only thin-fluid mineral oil may be used as operating medium. For a selection of permissible oils and oill filling capacities please refer to. 1) Fit the coupling on the motor shaft or the diven shaft, as required, by means of a threaded rod. 2) Fit the pulley belts (untensioned) by moving the two pulleys as close together as possible. 3) Ensure that the two pulleys are parallel by means of a wire or a rule.

operating fluid with increasing motor speed causing a circulating flow in the working chamber. The whole blade space of the turbine wheel is flooded, and the turbine wheel starts to move as a result of the kinetic energy of the fluid flow. The coupling characteristic curve determines the torque curve during start-up. Fig. 4 Nominal operation. A constant amount of operating fluid is in the coupling. The mechanical energy provided by the drive motor is converted into kinetic energy of energy is reconverted into mechanical energy.

Fluid coupling can be used in both vertical and horizontal applications. Disadvantages of Fluid Coupling: There is always a slip. There is always a slight difference in the speed of the pump wheel and turbine wheel; The fluid-filled in casing must be compatible with the coupling component, it directly affects the transmission behavior of the fluid coupling. Fluid coupling cannot develop torque when the driving shaft and driven shaft are rotating in the same angular velocity.
