Mesur-Fil Fluid Couplings
Soft Start and/or Over Load 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 50HP 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
Mesur-Fil Fluid Couplings
Designed to deliver reliable smooth power transmission, specifically in a soft start or overload application. The Formsprag Mesur-Fil fluid coupling is designed with no mechanical contact of internal parts. This will insure minimal maintenance and long life.
