Fluid couplings

Hydro Drive manufactures fluid couplings that minimise the heat generated by the motor thus reducing electrical energy. This increases the life of the equipment. They find applications in the following: textile machines, conveyors, fans and blowers, centrifuges, sugar machineries, wire drawing machines, paper making machines, marine propulsion, cranes and fork lifts, crushers and ball mills, dock and dam gates, re-rolling mills and rubber mixing mills. The advantages of the fluid couplings are as follows: * Light load start * Accurate overload protection * Motor sized for running duty * Smooth controlled acceleration * No wearing parts * Rotation in either direction * Interchange ability of input or output ends * Elimination of torsional vibrations
