Fluid Coupling

Fluid couplings, offered by Siddhivinyak Engineering, function akin to a centrifugal clutch. Operating by propelling an impeller, the oil flow from the blades to the driven part transmits power to the machinery. Filled with oil, the fluid coupling not only transfers torque but also lubricates the moving components.

Fluid couplings stand out as a convenient and cost-effective method to establish a highly adaptable drivetrain. Their design eliminates the need for mechanical elements between the motor and the machinery, minimizing wear and tear. The flexibility of fluid couplings effectively addresses power surges in traditional electric motors and their associated equipment.

These versatile couplings find applications in various sectors such as conveyors, crushers, centrifuges, and wood chippers, with capacities reaching up to 1750 hp /1300 kW. Siddhivinyak Engineering's fluid couplings are engineered for durability and performance. They offer advantages like smooth start-ups and gradual acceleration of machinery.

The feature of automatic load speed adjustment based on the synchronous speed of multiple motors in the drivetrain ensures protection against overloads and dampens rotational vibrations. The torque transmission is precisely controlled to meet predefined values.

With Siddhivinyak Engineering's fluid couplings, direct online start electric motors can be utilized without the need for star-delta starters or slip-ring motors. These couplings come equipped with rheostats for soft-start requirements, making them perfect for initiating high inertia loads. They can be easily installed in-line shaft to shaft or with V-belt pulleys.
