Ever-power Fluid couplings are fixed fill mechanical soft start products which make use of hydrokinetic energy to transmit torque through something of impellers. The input impeller functions comparable to a centrifugal pump and hydraulic turbine. When the insight drive moves, it transmits kinetic energy to the oil which can be distributed in the housing and transmits torque by engaging the outer impeller. The Dodge Liquid coupling enables the driver to begin under “no load”, producing a smooth set up and reduced amount of amp pull from the electric motor. Since there is no physical connection in the casing, the Dodge Fluid coupling provides built-in overload security and inherent torsional vibration absorption. Additionally, load balancing can be done with the use of asynchronous motors, rather than custom motors, since the Fluid couplings instantly adjust to load speed.

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