V-Belt Pulley Drives

V-Belt Pulley Drives

The FP fluid coupling type is integrated with a V-belt pulley, replacing the conventional pulley found on a motor shaft in V-belt drives. This replacement can be easily and swiftly fitted onto existing or new drives. This combination facilitates a gentle start for the motor under light loads, ensures smooth and controlled acceleration, and provides overload protection for both the motor and the driven machine.

By utilizing the FP fluid coupling instead of a standard pulley, it often becomes feasible to employ a smaller motor. This advantage stems from the fluid coupling’s ability to rapidly bring the motor up to its operating speed, enabling its overload torque to initiate the movement of the driven machine.

Precise determination of starting or stalling torque is achievable through the selection of the initial fluid filling level, with further adjustments easily made on-site to suit specific drive requirements. Fusible plugs are incorporated in all sizes except the smallest, serving as safeguards against excessive temperature increase in case the motor overload trip fails to activate during stalled or overloaded conditions.

The type FP fluid coupling can be provided without the pulley sheave, except for size 8, offering customers the flexibility to use their own pulley sheave or chain sprocket if needed. Vertical shaft mounting options are also available.

An important attribute of the FP fluid coupling type is its user-friendly installation process. It eliminates the need to dismantle the unit prior to attaching it to the motor shaft. The installation process is straightforward, requiring only the alignment of the V-belts.

These units are available in nine distinct sizes, ranging from 0.1 kW to 150 kW, as outlined in the selection chart provided. Several typical applications include:
– Belt conveyors
– Chain conveyors
– Mixers and agitators
– Crushers
– Haulages
– Ball mills
– Barking drums
– Hammer mills
– Centrifuges

Furthermore, special pulleys can be customized and supplied based on customer requirements.
