Solutions for Pumps & Compressors

Function:

Enable or disable power transmission between the motor and the pump/compressor on demand.

Applications in Pumps & Compressors:

• Start-stop control: Seamlessly engage/disengage the drive without stopping the motor—ideal for cyclic operations or when standby pumps are used.
• Overload protection: Disconnect the drive in case of overload to prevent damage to the system.
• Energy savings: Allow motors to run continuously while only transmitting power when needed, reducing energy waste.
  

Function:

Stop or hold rotating shafts when power is removed.

Applications in Pumps & Compressors:

• Fast stop for safety or maintenance: Brakes allow for rapid deceleration of pump/compressor shafts to avoid hazards or to enable safe access.
• Hold position under load: Especially important in vertical pump shafts or in lifting pump systems to prevent reverse rotation or freewheeling.
• Emergency braking: In the event of power failure or fault conditions, brakes safely halt operations to prevent mechanical failure or accidents.
  

Function:

Connect rotating shafts while compensating for misalignment and dampening vibration.

Applications in Pumps & Compressors:

• Misalignment compensation: Allow for angular, radial, or axial misalignment between motor and pump/compressor shafts, reducing stress and wear.
• Vibration and shock absorption: Extend equipment life and reduce noise by absorbing torque fluctuations, pulsations, or startup surges common in compressor systems.
• Ease of maintenance: Certain coupling types allow for quick disconnect and realignment, minimizing downtime during servicing.
