THE ADVANTAGES OF FLUID COUPLING

 

 

1

Frees engine during heavy starts

During heavy starts and sudden running load increases, engine lugging is prevented. The Fluid Coupling simply “slip” while it smoothly picks up the load.

 

2

Provides cushioned drive

Mechanical connection is eliminated; power and torque are transmitted entirely through mass and velocity of fluid. The result is a smooth, sustained flow of power minus the shocks and strains which, with mechanical drives, cut equipment life.

 

3

Prevents transmission of shock loads

 Fluid Coupling protects both driving and driven equipment by smoothing preventing them from striking solid resistance.

 

4

Assures damping effect

Torsional vibrations from the engine are drastically dampened by Fluid Coupling making longer life of entire transmission line.

 

5

Transmits full input torque

The patented Transfluid Circuit design delivers output torque always equal to input torque. The engine can turn at its max torque-rpm, even when driven is at stall.

 

6

Improves load distribution on compounded

With Fluid Couplings, engines no longer “fight” one each other when compounded to a common drive. Each is free to seek its own operating speed, while the Fluid Couplings balance the load requirements at each point of operation.
