SOFT START FLUID COUPLINGS


The fluid drive coupling delivers smooth starting acceleration between the prime mover and driven load. Fluid couplings mechanically cushion the shock from equipment overloads, jamming, or sudden speed changes by increasing slip. The inherent slip characteristics of the fluid coupling allows motors to start nearly free of load and to accelerate the load to maximum torque. Available up to 15hp.
