Ever-power Fluid couplings are fixed fill mechanical soft start products which use hydrokinetic energy to transmit torque through a system of impellers. The input impeller functions equivalent to a centrifugal pump and hydraulic turbine. When the input drive techniques, it transmits kinetic energy to the oil which is usually distributed in the casing and transmits torque by engaging the outer impeller. The Dodge Liquid coupling enables the driver to begin under “no load”, resulting in a smooth set up and reduced amount of amp pull from the motor. Since there is absolutely no physical connection within the casing, the Dodge Liquid coupling provides built-in overload security and inherent torsional vibration absorption. Additionally, load balancing is possible with the use of asynchronous motors, instead of custom motors, since the Fluid couplings immediately adapt to load speed.

The specified operating 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 safety plugs in the coupling housing provide additional safety against overheating and overload pressure.
