What happens if I put a blind plug instead of a fusible safety plug?

Instead of the melting fusible plug used in fluid couplings,

Absolutely NEVER INSTALL a BLIND PLUG. !!!!!!

What Happens If You Put A Blind Plug In Instead Of The Melting Plug?

They work with the oil in the fluid couplings, the oil enters between the vanes in the coupling with the rotational force and this oil is thrown towards the outer part of the coupling diameter with the increase in the rotational speed, and it creates a kind of solid wall between the coupling blades, allowing the motor and the reducer to rotate at the same speed.

The duty of the leaded SAFETY PLUG on the coupling is to ensure that the coupling and the fins in the coupling are not damaged and the coupling is not deteriorated.

If an excessive strain and compression occurs in the coupling, the oil in the coupling starts to heat up with the force. When the oil temperature reaches the melting temperature of the safety plug, the lead inside the safety plug melts due to excessive wear and discharges the oil in the coupling from the hole where the melting lead is located.

The fluid coupling, which does not contain oil, continues to rotate freely, meanwhile, the reducer group to which the coupling is connected stops.

If you replace the fusible safety plug with a blind plug, the coupling will not be able to discharge the oil inside it when it gets strained, and the oil inside the coupling will start to heat up more, firstly the gaskets in the coupling will melt and then the blades in the coupling will begin to be damaged, resulting in a huge loss of work and material damage. will occur.

Fluid coupling safety plugs operating temperatures

96C, 100C, 110C, 120C, 140C, 145C, 160C, 180C, 200C, 220C, 240C

We also manufacture safety plugs that can be melted at different temperatures upon request.
