A fluid coupling transmits torque between two shafts by

  • A.currents induced in a conducting drum by a rotating field
  • B.meshing gear teeth of continuously varying effective diameter
  • C.circulating oil between an impeller and a runner
  • D.friction between two clamped plates faced with lining material

Answer: C

Correct answer: circulating oil between an impeller and a runner

The impeller throws oil outward and the runner receives it, torque being transmitted entirely by the momentum of the fluid with no mechanical contact. The two shafts are therefore isolated from shock and torsional vibration, at the cost of a permanent slip of two or three per cent even at full load.
