Fixed / Constant Speed Couplings (Steel Body) Type WF
Description :
Type WF are steel body constant fil fluid couplings with hollow shaft execution on one end and flexible coupling on the other end for respective shaft connection. They are available with delayfil chamber type WFDF and without delayfil type WF. Also available in Radially Displaceable execution having metallic disc flexible coupling on both ends.
Type of WF :
- Steel body constant fill fluid couplings with hollow and flexible shaft ends
- Available with or without delayfil chamber
- Radially displaceable execution with metallic disc couplings on both ends
- Suitable for water, water-oil emulsion, and mineral oil
- Adjustable torque capacity: WF (200% to 270%), WF DF (180% to 270%)
Specifications :
Type WF HF & CBSF HF are radially displaceable fluid couplings with metallic disc flexible coupling on both input and output ends. These metallic disc couplings do not require any lubrication and require least maintenance. The weight of fluid coupling is shared by motor and driven machine shaft thus reducing weight reaction on gear box shafts which are of small diameters in modern designs. They are suitable for operation with:
- Water (aqua)
- Water oil emulsion as per HFB classification of European Mines Safety Commission.
- Mineral Oil
- Maximum torque transmitting capacity is adjustable between 200% to 270% for type WF and 180% to 270% for WF DF.
Advantages:
They offer all the advantages and performance characteristics of any other aluminium body Fluidomat Fluid Couplings
- Virtually no load start and run up of motor and utilization of motor peak torque for load acceleration.
- Smooth and controlled acceleration of driven machine.
- Quick decay of motor starting current kick.
- Adjustable starting characteristics and load limiting.
- Dampening of shock loads, torsional fluctuations and vibrations.
