Soft and reliable

The in- and output sides of the FLUDEX coupling are not connected to one another mechanically. Torque is transmitted wear-freely by means of the fluid filling rotating in the coupling between the pump and turbine impeller. FLUDEX couplings limit the starting and maximum torque in the drive chain. They act as a starting aid for the motor, as an overload protection during start-up and in case of fault as well as a rotary-vibration isolator.

Soft and reliable

FLUDEX couplings start up conveyor systems softly and jerk-freely. Four series comprising different types and sizes developed along modular lines up to an output of 2,500 kW are available.

Special features

• Soft, jerk-free starting and acceleration of large masses with loadless motor starting
• Torque limitation during starting and in cases of overload
• Excellent vibration isolation and shock damping
• Wear-free torque transmission
• Enables internal-combustion engines to be started with connected load

Areas of application

• The FLUDEX coupling is used in drives for conveyor systems such as belt conveyors, bucket elevators and chain conveyors.
• Their range of applications includes bucket elevator drives, crushers, roller presses, mixers, heavy-duty ventilators, boiler feed pumps, heavy-duty compressors, centrifuges and in auxiliary drives for mills in heavy industry.
