The Flux Drive ®

SmartCOUPLING ™

“Paradigm Shift”

A Flux Drive (SmartCOUPLING™) can now:

1. Save Energy – SmartPOWER™ (Blowers and Pumps)2. Provide soft-start / Lock-up Protection3. Run without Vibration Transfer4. Run with Mis-alignment (no laser alignment)

5. Never Wears Out !

Shows Air GapNo Touching Parts

• Vibration Not Transmitted Through Air Gap

• Tolerates Misalignment

• No Maintenance Required

• NEVER WEARS OUT!

• Accommodates Axial Elongation

• Accepts Shaft Misalignment

• Permits Angular Misalignment based on Coupling Size

• And NO transfer of vibration

Gap 1 Gap 2

– Energy Saving Feature by Adjusting Air Gap (‘SmartPOWER’ reduction)

– Benefits from Affinity Laws on centrifugal loads

• 5% less speed = 10% less power

• 10% less speed = 20% less power

– Adding Shim - Load speed / flow is reduced to actual demand required
