     Soft Start and/or Over Load Protection

Known in the past as Simplatrol, Formsprag or Mesur-Fil, the smaller size 7.0, 9.4 and the 12.4 size fluid couplings are manufactured in Wichita Falls, TX.

These are available for electric motors from ½ HP to 2500 HP that operate at speeds as low as 500 RPM and as high as 3600 RPM. During start-up the fluid coupling will reduce the current draw on your electric motor by 33%.

     Fluid couplings come standard with:

  • High temperature Viton™ oil seals
  • Welded construction to eliminate leaks on size 7.0, 9.4 and 12.4
  • Bolted together housing on sizes 15 and larger

     Mesur-Fil Fluid Couplings

Designed to deliver reliable smooth power transmission, specifically in a soft start or overload application. The Formsprag Mesur-Fil fluid coupling is designed with no mechanical contact of internal parts. This will insure minimal maintenance and long life.
