The Hydro-Flow hydrodynamic coupling
includes two basic elements: a pump A and a turbine B, which are both fitted with radial blades. Pump A is made of aluminium and is connected to the hollow shaft through splines. Ball bearings mounted on the hollow shaft are mounted in removable steel bearings, for easy maintenance.
The turbine B is bolted to a half-case C. The mating face is sealed. The aluminium delay chamber R may be bolted to half-case C. The mating face is also sealed.
HE version
HO versions
These versions are used as a baseline for all the other versions.
HV Versions
This version includes a pulley whose cross-section and number of grooves are calculated to match the coupling power. Bearing is ideally located in the middle of V-Belt pulley for enhanced reliability under belt tension load.
HV version
HE and HC versions
A SURE-flex® or TEX-O-flex coupling flange is mounted on the coupling an allows the torque to be transmitted through a flexible element allowing misalignments. The replacement of the flexible element can be realized without misalignment of the shafts. The coupler can also be filled or drained with the driven machine loaded.
HC version
HP versions
A female PENCOflex hub is mounted on these versions in which the male hub engages.
HP version
HT versionsThis version include a Hateco couplings between the hydrodynamic coupling and the driven machine.
All the Hydro-Flow couplings are balanced dynamically and are all fitted with a fuse plug which releases the oil when the oil temperature exceeds +145°C.
