True Torque Fluid Couplings

True Torque Fluid Couplings


Economical soft starts, with smooth acceleration. Shock-load protection

From underground & overland belt conveyors to crusher and mixing


applications, equipment professionals are constantly seeking better
technology to protect critical production systems against the effects of
damaging shock loads. And when it comes to eliminating sudden/jarring
starts, or preventing system failure/deterioration due to overloads,
nothing outperforms the system-saving capability of Falk True Torque
fluid couplings.
Unmatched, cushioned soft start
flexibility, at an economical price
point. Smooth acceleration.
Mechanical overload protection.
NEW sizes 2760HF & 2870HF
offer higher capacity at higher
speeds
Increased starting torque
available from standard NEMA B
motors with a fluid coupling.
This is a benefit not offered by
electronic soft start solutions.

Proven reliability in demanding


applications.
No contacting surfaces to wear
out virtually no maintenance.

Providing the softest,


smoothest start will
maximize the life of your
system components.
As the smart alternative to
expensive & complicated electronic
solutions, Falk True Torque fluid couplings allow precise adjustment of
startup characteristics in the field,
simply by changing the fluid fill level
via the easy access fill & drain holes.

NEW Longer starting profiles


and softer starts
For Sizes 1420HF & larger,
adjustable metering orifices
regulate the passage of fluid
from the delay fill chamber into
the working circuit, further
softening the start.
For sophisticated belt conveyors,
consider Type HFDD. The
extended delay fill chamber
permits initial start factor as low
as 40% of the full load torque,
dramatically reducing shock &
stretch to the belt at startup.
Use of the extended delay fill
chamber (HFDD) is recommended
for conveyors subjected to
unloaded starts, those with
concave sections, those with low
inertia, or those with any
combination of these conditions.
Modest fill in the working circuit at
startup minimizes belt liftoff, and
assures unloaded & low inertia
conveyors are not rapidly
accelerated. Protection - regardless
of load condition.
Torque applied to a belt conveyor
starts at zero (point C) and
gradually increases in magnitude
as the coupling impeller
accelerates to point D. When the
output torque of the fluid coupling exceeds the breakaway starting torque of the belt conveyor
(point D), the conveyor gradually
& smoothly accelerates to full
speed.

Prevent jamming overloads


that can cut short the life
of your system.
True Torque fluid couplings
safeguard your system against
mechanical overload. Simple,
straightforward protection when
instantaneous jams are
encountered.
Two fusible plugs per coupling,
are a standard feature, and prevent damage to the driven
equipment and the motor.

the driven load has been isolated


by the fluid coupling. Once the
motor is started, the fluid coupling
gradually introduces the driven
load. If the starting load is high,
the breakdown torque (Point B)
of the energized motor is now
available for starting purposes.

The proximity sensor cutout


switch accessory, an extra charge
option, prevents fluid discharge,
and provides ability to reset
cutouts in case of frequent
overloads (see page 12).
Another optional accessory, the
easily replaceable thermal trip
plug, is used in conjunction
with a trip switch, also preventing fluid discha
rge (see page 12).

Increase the starting


torque available
for hard starting
conditions.
Over-sizing of electric motors
for the purpose of increased
starting torque can be avoided
with a properly selected fluid
coupling. A fluid coupling
allows the motor to accelerate
independently to full speed,

HFDD Starting Profile

Easily balance the load


sharing between multiple
drives.
Adjust the fill so each motor carries
an equal burden.

Basic Types
The non-delay fill option (HFN/HFR)
provides soft start, including a short
delay (example: 5-10 seconds) in
the acceleration of the load, and is
a good choice when overload
protection or increased starting
torque is a primary requirement.

Speed Variation of Multi-Speed Applications Fluid


couplings offered in this selection guide are designed to operate
on single speed applications, i.e. the motor driving the fluid
coupling is started, accelerates to its base speed, and is not
subject to speed variation about its base speed. The operating
characteristics of a fluid coupling (a centrifugal device) are
dependent on the speed of the coupling, and in particular,
reduction in speed from those conditions identified in the
selection tables will cause diminishing performance. All variable
speed or multi-speed applications should be referred to Falk to
determine whether a fluid coupling is suitable for the application.
Warranty The warranty period for Fluid Couplings is 1.5
years from date of shipment. The description of what is covered
by this warranty is found in Falks General Conditions &
Terms/Standard Conditions of Sale.

Benefits of using a Falk fluid coupling


Soft cushioned starts
Without the fluid coupling, the motor instantly transmits its locked
rotor torque (starting torque) to the driven machine (point A at
right). Then, it quickly reaches and applies the breakdown torque
(point B). For common applications, locked rotor and breakdown
torque often approximates 200% or more, of the motor
nameplate rating.
Damage can result if the required break-away starting torque of
the driven machine is significantly less, the machine will be
abruptly accelerated to rated speed.
With a fluid coupling installed, however, the torque to the driven
machine starts at zero (point C) and gradually increases as the
coupling impeller accelerates to point D.
When the output torque of the fluid coupling exceeds the
break-away starting torque of the driven machine (point D), the
driven machinery gradually accelerates (right half of chart). As
the machine comes up to rated speed, the slip of the fluid
coupling decreases to (point E) and uniform power is transmitted
at maximum efficiency.

When a machine jams, the life of individual components may be


drastically reduced. Without overload protection, the stored
energy of the machine is absorbed in the first second following
the jam, increasing stresses on components to many times their
normal running values.
The fluid coupling slip characteristics spreads the absorption of
the impact over a period of time, reducing stress on the
components and therefore, protecting your machinery.

With a fluid coupling, the breakdown torque of a standard NEMA


B squirrel cage motor can be used to provide additional torque
to start the machinery.
In this example of a high horsepower application, the NEMA B
motor will initially exert only 80% of its rated torque (point A).
Only if the motor can accelerate to 85% of its synchronous speed
can it take advantage of its 175% breakdown torque (point B).
However, with a properly selected fluid coupling, the motor can
start under no load (point C), and reach its breakdown torque in
only a few shaft revolutions.
If a fluid coupling is not utilized, an oversized motor or a special
high starting torque motor may be required. These solutions are
costly, and introduce undesirable variables into the system. A
properly selected and filled Falk fluid coupling can provide an
initial starting torque ideally matched to the needs of the driven
machine. Attainable initial starting torque values range from 40%
of normal running load minimum, up to a maximum initial
starting torque value that equals the full breakdown torque of the
motor.

Reduced current draw when starting


The electric current draw at startup is dramatically reduced when
a fluid coupling is present. The motor starts without any
meaningful load yet applied by the driven machinery (point A,
Figure 1). In the absence of load, the motor quickly accelerates
to approximately 90% of its full load speed (point B, Figure 1).
The result is that low current draw (point C, Figure 1) is achieved
within several shaft revolutions. At this point the inertia of the
motor has been accelerated, and the application of load from
the driven machine will not cause subsequent periods of high
inrush current.
With a fluid coupling, the duration of high current draw is
reduced substantially as shown in the shaded area of Figure 2.
This results in electrical savings and extended service life of the
motor.

Load balancing for multiple drives


Loads can be easily balanced on multiple drive systems when
fluid couplings are installed at each motor. Refer to the
illustration at the right, two motors, each equipped with a fluid
coupling. Load sharing between the two motors has been
achieved by appropriately adding fluid to one coupling, or
withdrawing fluid from the other coupling.
As an added benefit, motors on multiple drive systems can be
individually started because of the ability of one coupling to
temporarily operate at 100% slip. Starting one motor at a time
provides extended and even softer starts on multiple drive
conveyors. Since the motors are started as separate events, the
system maximum inrush current will be approximately half the
system maximum inrush current experienced when both motors
are started simultaneously.

Accessories provide non-discharging


protection against overload (Page 12)
If a jam occurs without a fluid coupling, the motor will stall, and
draw over 500% of full load current (point A), and possibly burn
out. Furthermore, mechanical impact forces of even greater
magnitude can be generated which can damage the driven
machine.
With a properly selected Falk fluid coupling, the motor speed will
lug down only to the intersection of the motor torque and 100%
slip curve of the fluid coupling (point B). Therefore, the current
draw of the motor will only rise to point C. If the overload or
blockage is removed, the drive will resume its normal torque and
speed. If not removed, the coupling fluid temperature will rise,
causing the fusible plug to melt. This disconnects the torque from
the driven machine. In lieu of fusible plug, consider proximity
sensor cutout switch, or non-discharging thermal trip plug and
thermal trip switch. See page 12 for details.

Principles of Operation

RUNNER

WORKING
CIRCUIT

IMPELLER

Introduction
The working circuit is defined by the Casing, Impeller, and
Runner. A conical baffle is attached to the Impeller, and a flat
baffle is attached to the Runner. The Impeller and Runner each
represent half of a hollow torus, each with flat radial vanes.
Torque transfer takes place as follow.
Driving End (Input) mechanically transfers torque to the Casing.
Casing mechanically transfers toque to the Impeller.
Impeller transfers torque, via the Fluid, to the Runner.
Runner mechanically transfers torque to the Shaft.
Shaft mechanically transfers torque to the Driven End (Output).
The Runner has no mechanical connection to the Impeller, these
two components are connected by the energized Fluid. If you
rotate the Driving End (Input) by hand, the Driven End (Output)
does not rotate.
Fluid couplings are furnished without fluid. Customer supplied
fluid is added during installation.

Starting
Standard NEMA B motors are recommended when using fluid
couplings and will start virtually unloaded. Since the motor is
mechanically connected to the impeller and casing, the low
inertia of these components and the fluid are the only loads
imposed. As the electric motor accelerates to running speed, the
impeller begins to centrifugally pump fluid to the stationary
runner. Initial dispersion of fluid is de-concentrated by the conical
impeller baffle, producing a gradual increase in torque, allowing
the motor to accelerate rapidly to full running speed. When all
the fluid is pumped into the working circuit, continuous
circulation of fluid will occur between the impeller and runner. A
flow path is formed, shaped like a helical coil that is joined into a
closed ring.
As soon as the transmitted torque reaches the value of the load
breakaway torque, the runner starts rotating and accelerates the
driven load. The time required to reach full speed is dependent
on the inertia of the driven load, the resistive torque, and the
torque being transmitted by the fluid coupling.

Running
The operation of a fluid coupling is based on hydrokinetic
principles and requires that the output speed be less than the
input. This difference in speed is called slip. Further, this principle
provides that the output torque is equivalent to the input torque.
Therefore, efficiency equals 100% minus the percent of slip.
At full running speed fluid couplings will normally slip between
1% and 4%. The fluid circulation between the impeller and
runner has formed a helical coil at the outside circumference of
the working circuit and is no longer de-concentrated by the
conical baffle.

RUNNING

10 (521-110)

The Falk Corporation, 1982, 2004.

Overload stall
Should the load torque increase, the slip will increase, which
causes the runner to drop in speed. The coil of fluid circulating
between the impeller and runner will expand to provide
additional torque. The extent to which this coil can expand is
limited by the flat baffle on the runner. Consequently fluid
couplings provide inherent overload protection.
If the increase in torque causes the fluid in the working circuit to
expand to the point of contacting the baffle, the coupling will stall
and slip will be 100%. This continuous high slip generates heat
and the fluid temperature will rise unless the overload is
removed. When the temperature rises to the temperature limit of
the fusible plug, the core of the plug will melt, releasing fluid
from the coupling and effectively disconnecting power to the
output shaft. To prevent the discharge of fluid, the use of a
proximity cutout switch or thermal trip plug and limit switch is
recommended, see Page 12.
Coupling guards must be designed to permit the free flow of air
for cooling the fluid coupling, and to contain fluid discharge from
fusible plug(s) in the event of a sustained overload. Consider Falk
Orange Peel coupling guards, which are ideally suited for this
purpose.

Falk offers delay fill (HFD) and extended delay fill (HFDD). These
solutions provide longer, softer starts, while providing higher
efficiencies at full operating speeds.

INCEPTION OF OVERLOAD/STALL

The starting torque that can be transmitted by a fluid coupling is


a function of the amount of fluid in the working circuit at start.
The delay fill chamber with metering orifice option, bolted to the
driving end of Sizes 1420HF thru 2870HF fluid couplings,
permits a portion of the fluid to drain out of the working circuit,
and into the delay chamber, when the coupling is at rest. This
reduction of fluid in the working circuit at startup provides an
ideal method to assure superior soft start for belt conveyors, and
is effective for starting belts that are loaded or unloaded.
Upon starting, and once the electric motor has accelerated the
fluid coupling to appreciable speed, the fluid in the delay
chamber is slowly metered into the working circuit by virtue of the
(3) metering orifice plugs shown below, gradually increasing the
transmitted torque. The time required to completely empty the
delay chamber can range from 15 to 60 seconds.

Accessories For Overload Protection and


Prevention of Fluid Discharge
Proximity Sensor Cutout Switch
The actual speed of the driven shaft is continuously compared to
the pre-set cutout speed. The switch includes an adjustable speed
control box for manual setting of the cutout speed, usually 80%
of normal operating speed. During overload, the instant the
driven shaft speed drops below the cutout speed, the cutout
switch opens the motor starter circuit, disconnecting the motor
electrical supply.
To start the system after the overload is removed, press the start
button and hold it until the driven shaft speed exceeds the cutout
speed. If the overload has NOT been removed, the starter circuit
will again open and shut down the motor when the start button is
released because the driven shaft did not exceed the cutout
speed. Nothing needs to be replaced or repaired.
For Type HF20, the sensor target can be placed on the output half of
the Falk gear coupling. For Types HF31, 31-1, 32 and 32-1, the
sensor target would be attached to a shaft on the output side of the
fluid coupling. For the HF41, the sensor target would be attached to
the end of the fluid coupling opposite the sheave.
For a full description of the proximity sensor cutout switch, see

Thermal Trip Plug & Thermal Trip Switch


Fluid discharge can be prevented by using an optional thermal
trip plug in place of the standard fusible plug. When the fluid
temperature exceeds a predetermined value, a pin extends to trip
a limit switch and cut out the motor. Thermal trip plugs are
available in temperatures of 140C and 180C. The drive can be
reactivated by resetting the motor cut-out and replacing the trip
plug. Note: For the Type HF41 sheave coupling design (or any
reverse mounted fluid coupling), the thermal trip plug/limit switch
prevents fluid discharge due to overheating caused by excessive
slippage, where the coupling slows down, but does not stall. In
this case the trip plug will still rotate and trip the switch in the
event of overheating. If the requirement is to trip a switch in the
event of a total jam in the system (outer case of fluid coupling at
zero rpm & plug cannot rotate through switch), use proximity
sensor cutout switch above. For a full description of the thermal
trip plug and thermal trip switch, see Falk service manual
528-510.

Other Accessories
Falk angle finder (Part No. 1224653)
Each fluid coupling is shipped with an angle finder. Reorder in
case of loss or damage. The Falk angle finder will ease the task
of filling the fluid coupling to the specified fill angle. Setup time is
reduced, because the Falk angle finder is direct-reading. Simply
place the angle finder on the filler plug boss and rotate the
coupling to the required fill angle.

specific applications
Falk fluid coupling/disc brake package
Falk fluid coupling/disc brake packages are versatile designs that
can be customized to meet your specific needs. The superior
performance inherent in disc brakes, combined with the benefits
of a fluid coupling, provide an ideal package for inclined
conveyors where soft start and holdback are required for the
process of moving loads from a lower elevation to a higher
elevation. The package consists of a fluid coupling and a Type
G63 coupling (Gear coupling with brake disc incorporated). The
brake disc is designed to be compatible with hydraulic calipers
that are actuated by a Falk supplied hydraulic power pack.
In the illustration below, the G63 mounting of the brake disc is
shown. Note that application of the brake takes place at the
output side of the fluid coupling. This arrangement assures that
braking is applied directly to the driven shaft.
The use of a fluid coupling/brake disc package to retard
overruning tendencies associated with specific applications, or to
retard eccentric loads that wish to roll back to a neutral centered
position, requires significant analysis and should be referred to
Falk.

How to select
The Falk fluid coupling is a multiple use device:
Provide soft cushioned starts
Provide increased starting torque
Provide overload protection
Reduce current draw when starting
Provide load balancing for multiple drives
Provide load dampening
l
l
l
l
l
l

To achieve these objectives, use a standard NEMA B motor with


sufficient breakdown torque to start the machinery and with
adequate continuous rating for the normal continuous load. The
function of the fluid coupling is to allow the motor to come up to
speed with minimum load.
The fluid coupling is selected on the basis of the full load running
horsepower as well as the torque required to start the load. In
some applications, such as belt conveyors, it may be desirable to
limit the maximum starting torque. If possible, select the coupling
on the basis of the load rather than the motor rating, especially if
the motor is oversized. Couplings that are selected on the basis
of the motor size will have starting torque and maximum overload
torques in relation to the motor rating.

Selection procedure
1. Determine the running load horsepower (preferred) or the
motor horsepower.
2. Choose a Start Factor from the Table below. Start Factor:
the ratio of a pertinent starting torque to the running load
torque (the torque required to maintain the load (speed) once
equipment has been accelerated to its design speed)
For Belt Conveyors (Select from Pages 16 & 17). Start
Factor is the average starting torque exerted by the fluid
coupling during load acceleration, expressed as a percent of
running load torque. Page 17 (HFDD) also states initial start
factor, which is the nominal torque applied at the inception of
acceleration, expressed as a percent of running load torque.
The low initial start factor (HFDD) assures an extra soft empty
belt start on low inertia conveyors, yet is adequate to
overcome the breakaway torque of the conveyor.
General Duty (Other than Belt Conveyors), select from
Pages 18 thru 21, Start Factor is equivalent to the initial start
factor mentioned in the paragraph above. For these General
Duty applications, the initial start factor insures breakaway of
the driven machinery.

4. Select a Mounting Arrangement (gear coupling, disc coupling,


etc.) from Page 8.
5. For coupling size, basic type, and mounting arrangement
selected, see Availability Table, Page 15. Table indicates
whether the selection is available, and if so, the allowable
speed.
6. If initial basic type and mounting arrangement not available,
or insufficient allowable speed, consider alternative basic
type/mounting arrangement.
7. Check bore capacity of the coupling selected, dimension
tables, Pages 22 thru 31.

Selection example:
1. Belt Conveyor: Fluid coupling connects a motor to the input
shaft of a gear drive. Motor is NEMA B, rated 100 HP at
1775 rpm. Running load = 98 HP. Motor shaft 2.875, gear
drive input shaft 2.250.
2. Start Factor 1.20 to 1.40, select from Pages 16 & 17 as
appropriate (selections for Belt Conveyors).
3. HFD selections for Belt Conveyors, Page 16. For 98 HP
running load, select 370HFD, 4.1% slip, fill angle 63
degrees.
4. Select 370HFD20 (Gear Coupling mount) from Page 8,
economical, and includes drop-in/drop-out servicing.
5. Availability Table Page 15, 370HFD20 is available, allowable
speed is 1800 rpm, exceeds the requirement of 1775 rpm.
6. Alternative basic type/mounting arrangements are listed on
Page 15.
7. Page 23, dimensions, max bore is 2.875, which is adequate.

For 1584HFDD and 1660HFDD selections in the shaded area, see Page 15 for Availability Table (by Basic Type and Mounting Arrangement). Choose a mounting
arrangement with adequate allowable speed for the application.
Start Factor 120% for belt conveyors is the average starting torque exerted by the fluid coupling during load acceleration, expressed as a percent of running load torque.
l
Initial start factor for HFDD selections is the nominal torque applied at the inception of acceleration, expressed as a percent of running load torque. The low initial start
factor assures an extra soft empty belt start on low inertia conveyors, yet is adequate to overcome the breakaway torque of the conveyor.

HF132 & 132-1 Tschan/Hollow Shaft Mount


Tschan coupling input, hollow shaft output, for horizontal mounting. Hollow shaft secured to driven shaft by axial retention fastener,
hollow shaft is bored to the order and includes modified transitional fit, no setscrew. Driven shaft end must be drilled & tapped for
retention fastener, and fluid coupling includes Falk furnished spacer (spacer machined to length by Falk based on actual shaft
engagement dimension provided by customer). Types HF132, 132-1 permit smallest possible gap between connected shafts. Type
HF132-1 has greater max bore in the hollow shaft, but requires more shaft gap than HF132.

LOW LEVEL OF FILL

Fluid couplings are shipped without fluid. Fluid is added during


installation. The installer adds fluid, obtained locally, and that
meets Recommended Fluids specifications listed on this page.
When application data (horsepower, rpm, start factor) is provided,
the fluid coupling will include an orange sticker with fill angle
(degrees), and approximate fill quantity (fluid ounces). If no orange
sticker is present, a fill angle may be obtained from the Quick
Selection Tables herein (Pages 16-21). Using fill angle as a starting
point, approximate fill quantity (fluid ounces) may be obtained
from the table below.
Fluid couplings include an angle finder (P/N 1224653) and
installation instructions. Remove fill plug, place angle finder on the
flat boss at the fill plug location, and rotate coupling to the
specified fill angle (degrees from vertical) With the coupling in this
position, add fluid until it reaches the lip of the fill hole.
As shown above, a low fill angle (example is 50) corresponds to a
high level of fill. A high fill angle (example is 100) corresponds to
a low level of fill. The level of fill in the coupling determines the
start factor, percent slip, starting torque, stall torque, . . . essentially
all performance characteristics of the coupling.
After installation and operation, fine-tuning of the fill level may be
necessary, based on load readings or other site variables. In
general, increasing the fill level (decreasing the fill angle) increases
start factor/start torque/stall torque, shortens time required to
accelerate the load to operating speed, and reduces percent slip.
Reducing the fill level (increasing the fill angle) decreases start
factor/start torque/stall torque, increases time required to
accelerate the load to operating speed, and increases percent slip.
