THEPROBLEM
• Excess Capacity Margin (ECM) - built into
all motor systems
– Design Engineers have to oversize systems for
future demand and provide a safety factor
– All Systems run with ECM, wasting energy
– Matching flow to the actual system demand
required - saves energy and reduces maintenance
• Hard starting of all coupled systems is
much less reliable
– Vibration from standard coupling misalignment
destroys bearings and seals
– Excessive system flow rates result in wear & tear
– Start-ups put shock on equipment and create
high power spikes & higher operating costs
• Existing solutions DON’T target the
Major Problem – Wasted Energy!

– Energy Saving Feature
by Adjusting Air Gap
(‘SmartPOWER’
reduction)
– Benefits from Affinity Laws on
centrifugal loads
• 5% less speed = 10% less power
• 10% less speed = 20% less power
– Load speed is adjusted to actual
demand required

THEMARKET
Market Dynamics: “90/90/10” Value Proposition
• 90% of typical plant’s pumps, fans and blowers have Excess Capacity
Margin (ECM) for <2 year payback with a SmartCOUPLING™
• 90% of those systems will never need an upgrade to full auto control
• 10% load speed reduction - creates 20% energy reduction

Electronic VFD
“Flexible” Couplings
– Electronic solutions:
• More complex and less reliable
• Create damaging side effects
• Won’t survive in many environments
• Expensive overkill for fixed speed control
• NO MAINTENANCE SAVINGS
– Flexible Coupling solutions: Waste Energy
• Alignment critical – cause of excess vibration & wear
• Contain wearable elements - ongoing cost
• Don’t protect against load seizure or hard-start
• NO ENERGY SAVINGS or SPEED Adjustment

THESOLUTION
The Flux Drive SmartCOUPLING (FSC): How It Works
– ‘Drop-In’, replacement for ‘Old’ Couplings
• Permanent magnets mount on load shaft
• Induction rotor mounts to motor
• No touching parts (red area shows air gap)
– Motor – provides input torque / power
• Current induced from permanent magnet
flux into induction rotor
• Induction rotor becomes an induced magnet
• Induction rotor then couples / rotates with
permanent magnet rotor
• Result – Motor Torque is transmitted to load
– SmartPOWER™ - Air gap spacers
• Install to decrease magnetic coupling effect
• Allow load (pumps & fans) to rotate slower –
thereby Saving Energy!
