Characteristics:
Fluidomat fluid coupling has centrifugal characteristics during starting, thus enabling no load startup of prime mover, which is of great importance. The slipping characteristics of fluid coupling provides a wide range of choice of power transmission characteristics which also result in speed variation, smooth & controlled acceleration, clutching and declutching operations and other characteristics of load limiting shock & peak load absorption and dampening etc. By varying the quantity of oil filled in the fluid coupling, the normal torque transmitting capacity can be varied. The maximum torque of the fluid coupling can also be set to a pre-determined safe value by adjusting the oil filling. The fluid coupling has the same characteristics in both directions of rotation.

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 and 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 synchronization 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. Reduced fatigue on transmission components / elements. Smooth and controlled acceleration of driven machines. Important for machines such as conveyors, wire drawing and textile machines. Steeples speed variation in wide range obtained in scoop type fluid couplings. Economy on machine and drive designs. ENERGY SAVING.

Wh the output speed of a fluid coupling is alwa s lower than the input speed?
To enable the fluid to flow from impeller to rotor it is essential that there is a difference in 'Head' between the two and thus it is essential that there is a difference in speed known as slip, between the two. Slip is an important and inherent characteristic of a fluid coupling resulting in several desired advantages. As the slip increases, more and more fluid can be transferred from the impeller to the rotor and more torque is transmitted.

By varying the quantity of the oil filled in the fluid coupling, the normal torque transmitting capacity can be varied. The maximum torque o limiting torque of the fluid coupling can also be set to a predetermined safe value by adjusting the oil filling. The fluid coupling has the same characteristics in both the directions of rotation.

It is observed that The fluid coupling temperature rises during operation. Is this normal?
A fluid coupling has operating slip, therefore loss is converted into heat. The temperature rise is normal. If temperature rises above specified values then the cause must be established and rectified.

When do we select fluid coupling with constant fill and when do we select a variable speed scoop controlled coupling?
Normally it depends very much on the application and design parameter of drive system. Soft start, starting duty, controlled acceleration, multi drive systems etc are some of the parameters considered for use of constant fluid couplings. However fill controlled & scoop controlled couplings are used for above considerations Speed variations Clutching-Declutching duty Large KW operation beyond power limit of constant fill couplings etc.

What is Outer wheel drive & Inner wheel drive? Does it has a difference?
The outer wheel drive means prime mover connected to outer wheel (impeller) and inner wheel drive means prime mover connected to inner wheel (rotor). The difference is in starting torque characteristics which can be adjusted by due changes in design/construction.

Does the direction of rotation pla a role in the function of fluid coupling?
Fluidomat fluid couplings are bi-directional in design and can be used in any direction.
