When you drive through KFBD coupling you profit by these Basic Benefits.
1 – Frees engine during heavy starts.
During heavy starts and sudden running load increases, engine lugging is prevented. The Fluid Coupling simply “slip” while it smoothly picks up the load.
2 – Provides smoothly drive
The mechanical connection is eliminated; power and torque are transmitted entirely through mass and velocity of the fluid. The result is a smooth, sustained flow of power minus the shocks and strains which, with mechanical drives, cut equipment life.
3 – Prevents transmission of shock loads
Fluid Couplings protects both driving and driven equipment by smoothing out shock loads and preventing them from striking solid resistance.
4 – Assures damping effects
Torsional vibrations from the engine are drastically dampened by Fluid Coupling making longer life of entire transmission life.
5 – Transmits full input torque
The patented Transfluid Circuit design delivers output torque always equal to the input torque. The engine can turn at its max torque-rpm, even when driven is at the stall.
6 – High radial load capability
The KFBD series has been also designed for application requiring pulley installation particularly on heavy-duty service.
