Mesur-Fil Fluid Couplings allow motors to start
unloaded and to reach operating speed with smooth,
controlled accel eration. This makes it ideal for
ap pli ca tions with high inertia loads. They are
available in either constant or delay fill versions.
There are three primary com po nents
to Mesur-Fil Fluid Cou plings:
1. Vaned runner
2. Vaned impeller
3. Fluid fill
Torque, produced by the prime mover
(motor) acting on a vaned runner, is
transmitted through the flow of fluid into
the chambers formed by the two coupling
halves. The oil (fluid) is sub se quent ly
thrown into the vaned impeller connected
to the load causing it to turn. It is
important to note, that as this trans mis sion
of power takes place, there is virtually no
wear on the transmitting parts be cause
there is no mechanical contact between
them.
