Siemens Hydrodynamic Couplings
FLUDEX couplings are hydrodynamic fluid couplings operating according to the Föttinger principle. The coupling parts on the input and output side are not mechanically connected and thus not subject to wear. Torque is transmitted by the fluid movement in the coupling accelerated by the radial blades.
Benefits:
Soft and shockless starting of machines and conveyors
Acceleration of very large masses without the necessity to use overdimensioned motors
Protection of drive against peak loads in case of frequent starting and reversing operations
Excellent vibration separation and shock damping; greatest possible extent of torsional vibration uncoupling in drives subject to vibration
