Can it become unbalanced? And cause hi vibration to motor inboard side

[@EngineeringDots]

Yes. It can. Unbalanced rotating mechanical components/device's will always cause vibration.

[@sanjayjoshi624]

Can a fluid coupling or torque converter increase torque of AC motor?

[@EngineeringDots]

No. Fluid couplings actually provide smooth acceleration. And the motor can start with a no load condition means motors can start with its high starting torque value.

So, a fluid coupling is kinda like a Tesla turbine?...only the impeller blades are 90° from the position they are found in a Tesla design but the clutch looks more like a Tesla turbine...

Thanks for your time

Fuse plug in the fluiddrive

[@EngineeringDots]

yes, its fusible plug for safety i.e. in jam conditions. thanks.

The word "efficiency" get's flashed around like a casual by-word. I have asked and asked yet no-one (so far) has been able to quote specific numbers or present graphical test results of the efficiency of the Fottinger hydraulic coupling. My general understanding from the automotive world is that it is unlikely to exceed much above ~80% whereas a well-designed fully-geared drive can exceed 90%. This is an important detail in respect of fuel consumption. My understanding is that ROLLS-ROYCE dyno tested salvaged DB's and analysed their supercharger drive design and efficiency. This must have generated an official report as this testing was commissioned by the R.A.E. I would like to see that report. It would go a long way toward explaining the mystery as to why R-R (and others) never copied it. Does any know for sure??

Comment appreciated. Thanks for your time. Thanks for your precious experience you shared.
