Page 3: Installation
DESCRIPTION FLEXIDYNE dry fluid couplings are a unique concept to provide soft start and momentary overload protection for all types of driven equipment. Standard NEMA-B motors with RPM base speeds of 1750, 1160 or 860 are commonly used with a FLEXIDYNE, yet other available power sources may be used with the FLEXIDYNE. -
Page 4: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE For average industrial applications involving 3 or 4 starts a day of not more than 6 seconds acceleration time each, the flow charge should be changed every 10,000 hours of operation. For more severe conditions, visually inspect flow charge at more frequent intervals; it should be changed when it has deteriorated to a half powder, half granular condition. -
