Basic Prinicple Fluid Couplings

Construction: Basic Principal

Applications Chart
Fluidomat fluid couplings work on the
hydrodynamic principle. It consists of a pump-
generally known as impeller and a turbine
generally known as rotor, both enclosed News
suitably in a casing. The impeller and the rotor
are bowl-shaped and have large number of
radial vanes. They face each other with an air
gap. The impeller is suitably connected to the » more

prime mover while the rotor has a shaft bolted

to it. This shaft is further connected to the Prestigious Order from M/s BGR
driven machine through a suitable Energy for their Conveyor
arrangement. Oil is filled in the fluid coupling from the filling plug provided on its body. A fusible plug is provided Application.

on the fluid coupling which blows off and drains out oil from the coupling in case of sustained overloading.

Operating Principle:

There is no mechanical interconnection between the impeller and the rotor (i.e. the driving and driven units) and Contact Us
the power is transmitted by virtue of the fluid filled in the coupling. The impeller when rotated by the prime

mover imparts velocity and energy to the fluid, which is converted into mechanical energy in the rotor thus

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.

Scoop Control Variable Speed Couplings :

These coupling have a sliding scoop tube which enters the coupling rotating casing through central clearance.
The oil quantity level in the coupling can be varied which in operation by changing the position of the scoop tube
which determines the oil level in the coupling. This change of oil level shifts the torque characteristic of the
coupling thus enabling step less speed control .See the characteristic curve shown below.
