Ever-power Fluid couplings are fixed fill up mechanical soft start devices which make use of hydrokinetic energy to transmit torque through a system of impellers. The insight impeller functions identical to a centrifugal pump and hydraulic turbine. When the insight drive techniques, it transmits kinetic energy to the essential oil which can be distributed in the casing and transmits torque by engaging the outer impeller. The Dodge Liquid coupling allows the driver to begin under “no load”, resulting in a smooth set up and reduced amount of amp draw from the motor. Since there is absolutely no physical connection inside the housing, the Dodge Liquid coupling has built-in overload safety and inherent torsional vibration absorption. Additionally, load balancing is possible with the use of asynchronous motors, rather than custom motors, because the Fluid couplings automatically modify to load speed.

common applications
Conveyors (Bulk Materials Handling)
Any application requiring overload protection
Any application with a high-inertia startup
The specified working conditions of a Ever-power coupling can be monitored by a non-contact and maintenance-free Electronic Operating Control (EOC) system. A thermal operation device and fusible security plugs in the coupling casing provide additional security against overheating and overload pressure.
