3. Selection and operation

3.1 Selection criteria

A hydrokinetic coupling must meet certain requirements, which guide the choice, such as :

• transmit power from the motor to the controlled machine with maximum efficiency;

• meet other operating conditions of the assembly, e.g. ensure clutch disengagement, limit the power transmitted in the medium term or enable adjustment of the transmission ratio during operation;

• correspond to the required templates.

• When selecting a constant fill hydrokinetic coupling, the user must specify the nominal values for power P and motor speed n _M , with the transmission...
