Constant Fill - HF Fixed Speed
The advantages of using Fluid Couplings:
- Easy start-up with gradual acceleration of the driven component
- Automatic load speed adjustment on the basis of the synchronous speed of two or more motors on the drive train is protected against overloads
- Rotational vibrations are dampened
- The torque transmitted complies with pre-set values
- Direct on-line start electric motors can be used, without star-delta starters or slip-ring motors with rheostat
Fluid couplings are the easiest and cheapest way of creating a perfectly Flexible Drive Train, because no mechanical parts are necessary between the motor and the Equipment or Machine being driven.
Without mechanical parts, there is practically no wear. The elasticity of the fluid coupling solves problems of power peaks in conventional electric motors and the machines they drive.
Applications include conveyors, crushers, centrifuges and wood chippers.
Packaged solutions possible to include electric motor, Pulley drives, Fluid Couplings and Gearboxes. Suitable for many applications including conveyors and crushers plus many more.

SAMT specialise in the supply of fluid couplings, HF type couplings are radially displaceable, enabling prealignment of driving and driven shafts prior to assembly. A metallic flexible disc coupling is fitted to both ends. They give starting torque down to 120% of nominal torque. The HF is a standard coupling; HFD comes with a delayfil chamber and HF-DX with extended delayfil chamber. Standard fusible plug blow off temperature is 130 degrees C.
