Best Answer

Fluid couplings are used extensively in automatic transmissions. This allows the car to stop while still remaining in gear. Also used for the smoothness that transfers the power from the driver to the driven member very smoothly in various power equipment.

What is fluid coupling?

A fluid coupling is a hydrodynamic device used to transmit rotating mechanical power. It has been used in automobile transmissions as an alternative to a mechanical clutch. It also has widespread application in marine and industrial machine drives, where variable speed operation and/or controlled start-up without shock loading of the power transmission system is essential. They are also sometimes called a Fluid Flywheel.


Comparison between fluid coupling and torque converter?

They are of similar design, but a fluid coupling simply transmits torque (with some frictional loss), while a torque converter amplifies torque, similar to a reduction gear.
