Ever-power Liquid couplings are fixed fill mechanical soft start products which use hydrokinetic energy to transmit torque through a system of impellers. The insight impeller functions similar to a centrifugal pump and hydraulic turbine. When the input drive moves, it transmits kinetic energy to the essential oil which is distributed in the housing and transmits torque by engaging the outer impeller. The Dodge Fluid coupling allows the driver to begin under “no load”, resulting in a smooth set up and reduction of amp draw from the electric motor. Since there is no physical connection within the casing, the Dodge Fluid coupling offers built-in overload security and inherent torsional vibration absorption. Additionally, load balancing can be done with the use of asynchronous motors, rather than custom motors, since the Fluid couplings automatically modify to load speed.

The specified working conditions of a Ever-power coupling could be monitored by a noncontact and maintenance-free Electronic Operating Control (EOC) system. A thermal procedure control device and fusible security plugs in the coupling casing provide additional protection against overheating and overload pressure.
