DESCRIPTION

FLEXIDYNE dry fluid couplings and drives are unique concepts to provide soft start and momentary overload protection for all types of driven equipment. Standard EMAB motors with RPM base speeds of 1750, 1160 or 860 are commonly used with a FLEXIDYNE coupling or drive, yet other available power sources may be used with the FLEXIDYNE mechanism.

The dry “fluid” in the FLEXIDYNE housing is heat treated steel shot. A measured amount, referred to as flow charge, is added into a housing which has been keyed to the motor shaft. When the motor is started, centrifugal force throws the flow charge to the perimeter of the housing, packs it between the housing and the rotor which in turn transmits power to the load.

After the starting period of slippage between housing and rotor the two become locked together and achieve full load speed, operating without slip and with 100% efficiency

INSTALLATION

COUPLINGS:

Install coupling flange on motor shaft and drive housing mechanism on driven shaft in accordance with the instruction manual for the Taper-Lock® bushings.

NOTE: The coupling flange must be mounted on motor shaft (not driven shaft) to allow proper operation of the FLEXIDYNE coupling.

Shaft ends must not protrude beyond bushing ends. Install coupling disc over pins on drive housing mechanism. Position the motor and the driven unit so that the spacer buttons on the coupling disc slightly contact the coupling flange. Reference Dimension A on Parts Replacement Drawing.

(A = 5/8” on size 70C; A = 3/4” on size 75C)

For longest FLEXIDYNE coupling life, it is always desirable to align coupling as accurately as possible at initial installation. Check alignment by laying a straight edge across the coupling flange and drive housing at several points around the circumference.

NOTE: Driven shaft must not touch housing hub.

DRIVES:

Install the FLEXIDYNE special bolt-on sheave on the driven hub. Use screws and lock washers provided with the FLEXIDYNE drive. Torque screws to 160 inch- pounds.

Stake motor shaft key in place and slide FLEXIDYNE drive onto the motor shaft, with collar as close to the motor as possible. Tighten key set screw securely against motor shaft key. Tighten shaft set screw securely against motor shaft.

NOTE: The sheave is the output of the FLEXIDYNE drive, do not input power to the FLEXIDYNE drive through the sheave. In other words, do not mount the FLEXIDYNE drive on the driven shaft.

START-UP

1. Remove the filler plug and install the proper amount of flow charge specified in Table 1. Replace and tighten filler plug, making sure that no flow charge is trapped in threads. Torque filler plug to 35 inch-pounds.

2. Attach AC ammeter (conventional clamp-on or equivalent) toone line of the AC motor. Set range to cover 200% of motor nameplate current.

3. Note the maximum allowable acceleration time as stated in Tables 1 and 2.
   Note: Table 2 lists starting time capacity for starting cycles occurring more than once every 2 hours.

4. Push start button. Observe motor current during load acceleration and number of seconds required to reach full speed (Fig. 2).
   Figure 2 – Typical Motor Current vs. Time
   

Increase amount of flow charge if:

A. Acceleration time reaches maximum allowable before load is up to speed. Turn off power immediately if this time is reached.
B. Acceleration amperage is below motor nameplate.

Decrease amount of flow charge if:

A. Acceleration time is less than 1-1/2 seconds.
B. Acceleration amperage is above 200% of motor nameplate.

Once satisfactory operation has been obtained, record the following for future reference:

1. The amount of flow charge
2. Starting current
3. Acceleration Time

WARNING: The rotor must slip during acceleration to allow flow charge to become evenly distributed in the FLEXIDYNE housing. Therefore, DO NOT ALLOW FLEXIDYNE MECHANISM TO RUN “FREE” (that is, without a load on the driven end), otherwise an out-of-balance condition may result, damaging mechanism and attached equipment.

OPERATION

The amount of flow charge in the housing determines the acceleration time for a given load. Slower acceleration times will occur when less flow charge is used and faster acceleration, from stop to full speed, will be observed with greater amounts of flow charge.

The FLEXIDYNE mechanism should start the load smoothly and without delay, provided the proper amount of flow charge has been used. Should the acceleration time exceed the maximum allowable in Table 1, shut off power to the FLEXIDYNE mechanism immediately. Allow the FLEXIDYNE mechanism to cool, then add small amounts of flow charge until proper acceleration is observed.

Vibration is an indication of accelerating too rapidly and not allowing flow charge to become evenly distributed in the FLEXIDYNE housing. This can be corrected by removing small amounts of flow charge until vibration subsides. Other causes of vibration are: undersize shafting, unit not installed far enough on shaft or worn bore in the unit.

Slippage — The FLEXIDYNE mechanism can, without slipping, transmit overloads up to 130% of its pre-set starting torque. Should this breakaway torque be exceeded, the FLEXIDYNE mechanism will slip and generate heat (see Overload Protection). Although slippage usually indicates increased loads, it can also be caused by worn flow charge or a worn rotor especially if the FLEXIDYNE mechanism has been in operation for some time. The necessity to replace either a rotor or flow charge will be made evident by a loss in power transmitting capacity of the FLEXIDYNE mechanism.

MAINTENANCE

For average industrial applications involving 3 or 4 starts a day and 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. See page 8 for flow charge analysis. Visual inspections should continue until enough flow charge changes have been made to adequately establish a schedule for renewing FLEXIDYNE flow charge.

The FLEXIDYNE mechanism has been lubricated at the factory and no further lubrication is required. Never apply grease, oil or any other foreign material to the flow charge.

THERMAL CAPACITY

Since there is slippage within the flow charge during acceleration, heat is generated from friction. The thermal capacity of the FLEXIDYNE mechanism is based on balancing this heat generated during acceleration against the cooling time between accelerations. The amount of heat generated is determined by the amount of horsepower dissipated by slipping and the duration of each acceleration. If the flow charge weight is light, the heat generated will not be as great as that which would be generated with a heavier flow charge, when compared at the same acceleration time. A longer time between starts will dissipate more heat; therefore, higher starting horsepowers may be transmitted, or longer acceleration times may be allowable. (See Starting Cycle)

Acceleration times shown in Table 1 are for starting frequencies of one start per hour or less. If starting frequency is more than once per hour, use acceleration time for actual starting cycle shown in Table 2.

Acceleration times listed in Tables 1 and 2 are the MAXIMUM permissible for the various starting frequencies listed. The MINIMUM acceleration time required for proper FLEXIDYNE mechanism operation is 1 to 1½ seconds. This is the time required for the flow charge to be uniformly distributed around the housing cavity before the unit “locks in”. Any acceleration time between the minimum and maximum listed is acceptable, although a shorter acceleration time will generally provide longer wear life. For applications requiring a specific acceleration time (within these limits) flow charge may be added or removed to produce the required results.

Stalled — If a jam-up stalls the drive, the motor continues to run and the FLEXIDYNE mechanism slips. This causes heat to be generated at twice the rate of normal acceleration. Therefore, the allowable slipping time, when stalled, is half the allowable acceleration time given in Table 1.

Starting Cycle is the time from the beginning of one acceleration to the beginning of the next. Allowable acceleration times in Table 2 are based on the assumption that the FLEXIDYNE mechanism will be running continuously except for a momentary stop before the next start. If the stop is more than momentary, decrease the actual starting cycle by one-half the stopped time before using Table 2; for example, with a 50 minute actual starting cycle of which 20 minutes is stopped time, decrease 50 by half of 20 to give 40 minutes as the starting cycle time to use for Table 2.

Grouped Starts — For several starts grouped together followed by uninterrupted running, add the acceleration times of all starts and consider it as the time for one start. The starting cycle would be the time from the beginning of one group of starts to the beginning of the next group.
