THE
PR
OB
LEM • Due to Excess Capacity Margin (ECM) -
built into all motor systems– All Design Engineers have to oversize systems for
future demand and provide a safety factor– All Systems run with ECM, wasting energy– Matching flow to the actual system demand
required saves energy and reduces maintenance
• Hard starting of all coupled systems is much less reliable– Vibration from standard coupling misalignment
destroys bearings and seals– Excessive flow rates result in wear & tear– Start-ups put shock on equipment and create
high power spikes & high costs
• Existing solutions DON’T target the Major Problem – Wasted Energy!

NThe Flux Drive SmartCOUPLING™: Benefits
• Energy savings!– SmartPOWER™, Air gap spacers
slow load speed to provide POWER savings
– Soft-start feature also reduces kW demand and charges
• Maintenance savings!– No touching parts
– Misalignment & vibration corrected for long seal and bearing life
– Operates in any environment
– It NEVER WEARS OUT!

NThe Flux Drive SmartCOUPLING (FSC): How It Works
– ‘Drop-In’, replacement for ‘Old’ Couplings
• Permanent magnets mount on load shaft
• Induction rotor mounts to motor
• No touching parts (red area shows air gap)
– Motor – provides input torque / power
• Current induced from permanent magnetflux into induction rotor
• Induction rotor becomes an induced magnet
• Induction rotor attempts to couple, rotate with permanent magnet rotor
• Result – Motor Torque is transmitted to load
– SmartPOWER™ - Air gap spacers
• Install to decrease magnetic coupling effect
• Allow load (pumps & fans) to rotate slower –thereby Saving Energy!

NThe Flux Drive Adjustable Speed Drive (ASD)
• Variable speed for maximum energy savings– Dynamic speed adjustment for automated control
– Superior to electronic speed control devices
– Works with any motor and in any environment (hot, dirty, corrosive, etc.)
– Not susceptible to power quality problems
– No harmful electrical side effects - harmonics
– Decades of useful life with minimal maintenance

ETMarket Size• $29 billion combined existing global market for couplings and ASDs
• $90 billion addressable market for speed control/energy savings on existing pumps and other equipment
• Flux Drive products address 90% of the 12 million U.S., and 62 million global motor systems

ETMarket Dynamics: “90/90/10” Value Proposition• 90% of typical plant’s pumps, fans and blowers have Excess Capacity
Margin (ECM) for <2 year payback on SmartCOUPLING™
• 90% of those systems will never need an upgrade to full auto control
• 10% load speed reduction - creates 20+% energy reduction

Competition only provides adjustable speed ormaintenance benefit – not both!
Electronic VFD
“Flexible” Couplings
– Electronic solutions:• More complex and less reliable
• Create damaging side effects
• Won’t survive in many environments
• Expensive overkill for fixed speed control
• NO MAINTENANCE BENEFITS
– Flexible Coupling solutions: Waste Energy• Alignment critical – cause of excess vibration & wear
• Contain wearable elements - ongoing cost
• Don’t protect against load seizure or hard-start
• NO SPEED CONTROL OR ENERGY SAVINGS
