Hydraulic coupling
The hydraulic coupling is a high-efficiency, low-slip mechanical device that is essential for power transmission in an operation.
From there, they function as a pump-turbine system, causing the engine side to bombard hydraulic fluids against the turbine side, which generates a thrust movement.
Therefore, these couplings are composed of materials such as steel, bronze and even copper. As a result, they play a better role in the operation, preventing leaks and fluid flow during the process.
Fluids can be formed from either hydraulic oils or water. To know which one to use, it is necessary to understand how the device will be applied in your operation.
Permanent and switchable hydraulic couplings
Reference companies in the market offer two variations of hydraulic couplings. This variation consists of the permanent and switchable models.
The difference is: the permanent ones have rigid characteristics and continuous transmission responses and the switchable ones are fixed, mobile and obey a specific command for action.
Therefore, it is important to analyze the catalogs of each model so that you can choose the one that will best suit you. Furthermore, we recommend that you evaluate the way in which the equipment is installed, so that you can avoid problems and additional costs.
The hydraulic coupling is widely used by the most diverse types of industries because it has a variety of applications in operations that require light and smooth starts.
Thus, it is present in industries such as:
Foods;
Chemicals;
Steel mills;
Construction;
Mining;
But in which equipment can it be applied?
It is very common to see hydraulic couplings applied to:
rotary ovens;
general transporters;
Mills.
Therefore, using this type of equipment in your process is very advantageous as it makes your motor start without load at a speed of 85% of its nominal speed. In addition, the side that is activated accelerates smoothly, avoiding any type of overload that may occur in the motor.
Nitto-Kohki is represented in Portugal, and in Porto, in particular, by Tecnoar.
