Couplings
Fluid Couplings
A fluid coupling transmits torque through oil, so the driven machine starts smoothly and overloads are damped. It protects motors and drive trains on conveyors, crushers and fans. Typical units carry a fusible plug as thermal protection.
- Soft start and overload damping
- Protects motor and gearbox
- Fusible plug for thermal protection

Technical reference
Choosing a coupling type
| Coupling | Torsionally flexible | Handles misalignment | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jaw (spider) | Yes | Moderate | Motors to pumps, small conveyors, compressors |
| Pin and bush | Yes | Moderate | Pumps, fans, general machinery |
| Tyre | Yes | High | Crushers, mills, shock-loaded drives |
| Grid | Yes | Moderate | Conveyors, mixers, heavy shock loads |
| Gear | No | Angular, high torque | Steel mills, cement kilns, heavy drives |
| Chain | Limited | Small | Medium-speed drives with easy chain replacement |
| Disc | No | Angular | High-speed, precise drives, compressors |
| Fluid | Yes | Moderate | Soft starting of conveyors and crushers |
| Rigid sleeve / flange | No | None (shafts must be aligned) | Aligned shafts, vertical pumps |
General guidance. Final selection depends on torque, speed, shaft sizes, misalignment and service factor.
