Fluid Coupling
Definition:
Fluid coupling is a hydrodynamic device which is?used to transfer rotational power from one shaft to another?by the use of transmission fluid.
Types:
There are two types of fluid coupling normally.
Uses:
Used in automotive transmission system, marine propulsion system and in industries for power transmission.
In Industries: Fluid couplings are used in?Belt Conveyors, Extruders, Centrifuges, Bucket elevators, Ball mills, Crushers, Mixers, Slurry pumps, Compressors, Industrial fans, Feeders, Diesel locomotives, Wagon tipplers, Boiler feed pumps, Reciprocating pumps, Process Pumps, Dryers etc.

Components:
Fluid Coupling consist of following Parts,
Working Principle:
A fluid coupling consists of an input shaft which is connected to the external driving shaft, with the help of this driving shaft the input shaft of the coupling gets rotated and generates kinetic energy this energy gets transferred to the fluid present it. the fluid used to convert into the centrifugal force and apply on the turbine to rotate it, with the help of centrifugal force the turbine gets rotated which is at the same torque produced by the input shaft called an impeller. This rotational power generated by the turbine gets transferred by connecting an output shaft to the turbine shaft.
Advantages of Fluid Coupling:
Disadvantages of Fluid Coupling:
Engineering | Projects | Reliability | Maintenance
3 年It is used also to connect the start up motor and Gas Turbine
Artisan, Mechanical Fitter.
3 年With more torque, high safety between the two shafts.??
