YOXIIZ Connection Dimension Data Sheet for Torque-Limiting Fluid Coupling with External Wheel Drive and Brake Wheel Type

Note: Structural characteristics and selection precautions:

• The coupling and the brake wheel are combined into one unit, which shortens the length of the transmission chain and enables both power transmission and braking functions.
• The externally driven brake wheel type coupling has a relatively long axial dimension, and strict alignment must be carried out in accordance with the specified requirements.
• The input end of the externally driven brake wheel type coupling is equipped with a rigid coupling, into which the motor shaft is inserted. The output end is likewise equipped with a plum-shaped (spider-type) elastic coupling.
• The externally driven brake wheel type coupling has been selected as the dedicated supporting product for the DTII type belt conveyor.
• The overall length L, brake wheel dimensions D1, B, and L1 can be determined by the user separately.

 Functions and Applications of Torque-Limiting Fluid Coupling

Functions: Provides light-load start-up, overload protection, impact dampening, torsional vibration isolation, load equalization for multi-drive systems, flexible braking, and energy efficiency.

1. The motor starts under near-no-load conditions, reducing starting time and starting current, and minimizing impact on the power grid.
2. It allows starting with the motor's peak torque, thereby enhancing the motor's starting capability and avoiding the "over-sized motor for under-sized load" phenomenon. Compared with rigid drives, it can reduce the motor frame size by at least one grade.
3. It enables the use of economical and low-cost squirrel-cage motors as a replacement for expensive wound-rotor motors.
4. It protects both the motor and the driven machine from damage during overload conditions, reduces failure rates, and extends service life.
5. The starting torque of the driven machine can be controlled, allowing extremely smooth starting and acceleration of heavy-load, high-inertia equipment.
6. As a flexible drive, it cushions impact loads and isolates torsional vibrations.
7. In multi-motor drive systems, it enables sequential start-up of the motors, balanced load sharing, and synchronized operation.
8. It provides wear-free power transmission, with no direct mechanical friction except for bearings and oil seals.
9. It is easy to operate, maintain, and service, with low maintenance costs and a long service life.
10. It features low initial investment and high cost-effectiveness, with energy-saving rates reaching 8–15%.
