Basic principle of hydraulic coupling

 Hydraulic coupling is works on principle of change in


the velocity of the working fluid.
onstruction and working of
ydraulic coupling
 It consists of a radial- pump impeller mounted on a
driving shaft A and a radial flow reaction turbine
mounted on a driven shaft B as shown in figure.
 Both the impeller and runner are identical in shape and
they are together form a casing which is completely
enclosed and filled with oil. There is no mechanical
connection between the driving and driven shaft.
 In the beginning both the A and B are at rest, when the
driving shaft A is rotated, the oil will pass through the
impeller and will flow radially outwards with high energy.
Construction and working of
hydraulic coupling
 The fluid will strike the turbine runners and while
following radially inwards, transfer power to the
turbine blades.
 With the increase in the speed of shaft A. Sufficient
head is developed in the fluid at the outlet of pump
impeller so that the power transferred to the turbine
rotor becomes high enough to set the driven shaft B
in motion.
 The oil from the runner then flows back into the
pump impeller,thus having a continuous circulation.
Construction and working of
hydraulic coupling
 Due to slip, the two shafts rotate at different speeds. If
both shafts rotate at same speed, the circulation of oil
stops, oil circulates in the system due to the difference
of centrifugal force set up in the driver and the driven.
 The slip of the fluid coupling is given by, S=N1-N2÷N1
 The efficiency of fluid coupling is given by,
n=output÷input=T2w2÷T2w1 where,N1,w1 and T1=
speed, angular velocity and torque of the pump
impeller, N2,w2 and T2=speed, angular velocity and
torque of the turbine runner.
 The efficiency of fluid coupling is about 98%.
Applications of hydraulic coupling

 Hydraulic coupling is used when the driven shaft is


required to run at a speed close to that of driving
shaft.
 It is used when the large initial loads are involved
and smooth free operations are required.
 It is used in automobiles, marine engine and
ropeway cable drive units.
