Ever-power Fluid couplings are fixed fill up mechanical soft start devices which utilize hydrokinetic energy to transmit torque through something of impellers. The insight impeller functions similar to a centrifugal pump and hydraulic turbine. When the insight drive movements, it transmits kinetic energy to the oil which is usually distributed in the casing and transmits torque by engaging the outer impeller. The Dodge Liquid coupling enables the driver to begin under “no load”, resulting in a smooth start up and reduced amount of amp draw from the engine. Since there is no physical connection within 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, instead of custom motors, since the Fluid couplings automatically change 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 non-contact and maintenance-free Electronic Operating Control (EOC) system. A thermal operation device and fusible safety plugs in the coupling casing provide additional security against overheating and overload pressure.
