Wish you had a Fluid Drive with out oil! No fusible plugs! Maintenance free!

Fluid Drives have been a main driving force in starting conveyors for many many years. All the time they operate trouble free, all is not so bad, well you do have to keep fluid and spare fusible plugs in stock. But when they give you trouble its normally big trouble! And the trouble can be numerous, over loading needing to stop the drive and wait for the fluid drive to cool down. Plugs leaking spilling fluid on your product, potential for a human accident. We've even known them to explode!

Alternatives to fluid drive have never been that simple. Do you go down the electronic route? Eddy Current drives? An alternative has never been that simple, until now!

MagnaDrive Couplings and Adjustable Speed Drives (ASD) come with all the benefits of fluid drives and more. MagnaDrive are 'high energy rare earth permanent magnetic couplings' These rare earth magnets drive through a gap of air. These couplings offer all the positive features of a fluid drive without any of the draw backs:

No precision alignment during installation

No oil to contend with i.e storage, topping up, safe disposal, risk of spillage.

No requirement for the device to cool down after an overload phase.

No spare parts to keep in stock.

No maintenance requirements.

No requirement for a flexible coupling.

MagnaDrive has the advantages that a fluid drive would bring:

Soft start and soft stop.

Energy Saving.

Handles overload phases.

Overload Protection.

In addition a MagnaDrive:

Has ease of installation. Laser alignment is a customer option.

Vastly reduces and in some cases eliminates vibration.

Deals with shock loads.

Both these abilities extends the life of bearings, seals and motor windings.

Protects the motor from a load jam and stoppage.

The motor runs at its optimum speed.

The drive can be restarted straightaway after an overload issue, no cooling down required.

Zero maintenance. Visual inspection can take place with the drive running.

MagnaDrive is the superior option to give true reduction of total cost of ownership:

Reduced maintenance.

No spare parts to hold in stock.

More process uptime.

Attached plant, motors, pumps, gearbox and fans last longer.
