Protection
Known in the past as Simplatrol, Formsprag
or Mesur-Fil, the smaller size 7.0, 9.4 and the 12.4 size fluid couplings
are manufactured in Wichita Falls, TX.
These are available for electric motors from ½ HP to 2500 HP that
operate at speeds as low as 500 RPM and as high as 3600 RPM. During start-up
the fluid coupling will reduce the current draw on your electric motor
by 33%.
Fluid couplings come standard with:
- High temperature Viton™ oil seals
- Welded construction to eliminate leaks on size 7.0, 9.4 and 12.4
- Bolted together housing on sizes 15 and larger
