Flender FLUDEX Fluid Coupling
Smooth start, overload protection, torsional vibration damping – Flender FLUDEX fluid couplings enable torque-limited start-up and have very low slippage at nominal loads. Especially within tough applications, drive components and processing machines are subject to extreme loads. Flender hydrodynamic couplings limit start and maximum torque within the drive train and serve as starting aids for the motor and as overload protection in the case of an incident. Flender hydrodynamic couplings also provide damping and separation of rotary oscillation, thereby reducing restoring forces to a minimum.
Flender hydrodynamic couplings operate according to the Föttinger principle. The coupling parts on the input and output side are not mechanically connected and are therefore wear-free. The torque is transmitted by the fluid movement in the coupling, accelerated by the radial blades. Our film illustrates the Föttinger principle as well as the operating principle of the FLUDEX coupling.
