What is the function of a transmission coupling?
1 Answers
The function of a transmission coupling is to connect the power source (usually an engine or motor) to the working machine, transmitting torque through changes in the liquid's angular momentum. Below are the specific functions of a transmission coupling: 1. Clutch function: Automatic transmission couplings have a clutch function. Speed-regulating and clutch-type hydraulic couplings can start or brake the working machine without stopping the motor, expanding the stable operating range of the power machine. 2. Energy-saving function: It can reduce the motor's starting current and duration, lessen the impact on the power grid, and decrease the motor's installed capacity. The energy-saving effect is significant for large-inertia, hard-to-start machinery using torque-limiting hydraulic couplings and centrifugal machinery using speed-regulating hydraulic couplings.
