Flux Drive Technology

Flux Drive technology utilizes portion of induction motor theory combined with recent improvements in permanent magnets to create a breakthrough design for flexible soft-start couplings and adjustable speed drives. Couplings torque is transferred across an air gap by means of magnetic induction. This unique magnetic circuit eliminates high-peak power demands during start-up and provides significant energy savings during reduced speed operations.

Engineered Efficiency

Flux Drive products allow the motor to run at a constant speed, and at its best efficiency point, while having the ability to provide speed control to the load. This patented induction type rotor design has several distinct advantages over other coupling and drive technologies:

> 98.5% efficient power transfer	> Lower power requirements
> Reduces vibration	> No harmonic interference
> Reduces system Noise	> Motor can be sized for the load
> Reduces life cycle costs	> 100% mechanical speed control device
> Operates in harsh environments	> Eliminates coupling failures

Less Vibration and Noise

Due to the torsionally disconnected design, vibration created by a traditional flexible coupling is eliminated; thereby increasing the life of all the machine's components. Since torque passes through air via magnetic flux, with no physical connection, no parts wear out due to normal operations.

Safe and Reliable

Flux Drive products provide safe and reliable operation in harsh environments.  A protective coating and simple efficient design guards against extreme temperature, moisture, seawater, salt air, and chemical corrosion. All couplings and drives meet international classification design standards.

Retrofit to Existing Motors

Flux Drive products easily retrofit to existing motors without upgrading to inverter duty. This innovative design accepts large degrees of misalignment. Alignment is performed by using a simple air gap spacer method. No expensive laser alignment system is needed.

Simple Efficient Design

With no electrical windings and no electricity creating the magnetism, no harmonics or power fluctuations interfere with operations.
