Description :

A fluid coupling or hydraulic coupling is a hydrodynamic or 'hydrokinetic' device used to transmit rotating mechanical power. It has been used in automobile transmissions as an alternative to a mechanical clutch. It also has widespread application in marine and industrial machine drives, where variable speed operation and controlled start-up without shock loading of the power transmission system is essential.

Fluid Coupling is widely used in Palm Oil Mill (PKS) as a SOFT STARTER.
Applications that often use Fluid Couplings include :
1. Thresser Drum
2. Sludge Centrifuge
3. Digester
4. Fan ID
