KX FLUID COUPLINGS KX SERIES

Product catalog summary

Description: The KX series fluid couplings are designed for starting large inertia machines driven by electric motors. They feature a patented fluid circuit with two internal tanks and scoops for bidirectional motor operation.

Main Features:

Low stall torque and starting torque limitation below nominal torque.
Dynamically balanced with two versions: KXG (gear couplings) and KXD (maintenance-free disc couplings).
Greased-for-life bearings with double seals and viton rotating seals and O-rings.
Operates with oil, water, or glycol.
ATEX certified for gas and dust explosion protection.
External impeller as driver, suitable for horizontal installation only.
Easy fluid filling with adjustable valves for optimizing starting time.
Optional brake disc or drum installation.

Advantages: The KX fluid couplings offer low starting torque and current absorption, isolating the effect of machine inertia. They are suitable for high power and inertia applications like mills and conveyors.

Technical Specifications:

Fluid quantity is lower than traditional couplings, allowing low starting torque.
Adjustable valves regulate start-up time.
Steady running ensures the working circuit is fully filled for minimal slip.

Selection Table: The document provides a detailed selection table for different sizes and power ratings, including dimensions and weights for both KXG and KXD series.

Contact Information: Transfluid provides contact details for offices in China, France, the UK, the USA, and North Europe.

Other Products: The document lists other Transfluid products, including various fluid couplings, flexible couplings, brakes, and pneumatic clutches.

FLUID COUPLINGS KX series DESCRIPTION The KX is a fluid coupling with a special patented fluid circuit designed to start up large inertia machines driven by electric motors. The circuit includes two internal tanks connected by two scoops allowing bidirectional motor operation. STILL (STATIONARY) The scoop works like a differential pump transferring fluid from one chamber to the other and finally into the coupling working fluid circuit through external adjustable valves. This double passage allows a long starting time with very low starting torque and current absorbtion by the electric motor,...
