Hydrodynamic couplings

Hydrodynamic couplings

    Voith’s product portfolio includes constant-fill fluid couplings, fill-controlled fluid couplings, fluid couplings for diesel engines and customer-specific drive solutions.

    A highly efficient and reliable drive system increases productivity and provides peace of mind. Whether you require fluid couplings or a customized drive package, Voith is your partner of choice. We assist you in gently accelerating your driven machine, owing to the hydrodynamic principle, thereby extending the lifetime of your system. At the same time, torque is limited, load sharing is facilitated, and torsional vibrations are dampened. The coupling protects the drive system from damage even under extreme operating conditions, reducing downtime and ensuring a continuous production process.

    Furthermore, our drive solutions are reliable and precisely tailored to each drive system – from individual couplings to complete drive-line solutions. The transmittable power ranges from 300 W up to 6 MW.

    Sustainable T

    Pioneering sustainable couplings

      For us, industrial sustainability is not a trendy slogan. We research and work with all our strength to fulfill our self-imposed responsibility in every respect. Our Voith fluid couplings have always stood for durability, high availability and low downtimes as well as a wide range of applications thanks to their modular design. With Sustainable T, we have further developed our hydrodynamic couplings to future-proof our customers for ensured sustainability and reliability.

      Its superior performance comes from within. In the past, wherever water-operated couplings could not be used, mineral oil has been the preferred operating medium. We’ve re-imagined the concept with Sustainable T and now also enable the operation of our Voith fluid couplings with sustainable, rapidly biodegradable fluids. For water-powered couplings as well, the future has begun with Voith. Because it is now possible to use antifreeze, there is greater potential to use them in low-temperature applications.

      Another forward-looking aspect is the materials used in our couplings. We reviewed our components and, where possible, have completely replaced them with environmentally compatible materials. This means that most of our components are completely pollutant-free already. By doing so, we not only achieve maximum safety and health protection for our employees and customers but also ensure a clean recycling process at the end of the product life cycle.

      With Sustainable T, we are pioneering the field of sustainable coupling technologies. To this end, we are in intensive discussions with our customers and suppliers. Today and tomorrow.

      Constant-fill fluid couplings

        Constant-fill fluid couplings are self-contained drive components mainly used for soft start, torque limitation, and dampening of torsional vibrations within the drive line. The different models vary in type and design of volumetric chambers; this determines the startup behavior.

        T – basic version

        Voith | Constant-filled type T fluid coupling
        Type T fluid coupling is the basic version of constant-filled coupling; such couplings are used in drives for different applications, such as cranes, bucket conveyors, stackers, and reclaimers. These couplings are particularly suitable if overload protection and vibration damping are required. This fluid coupling is also available with two work circuits (type DT). The parallel-acting circuits double the power transmission. Your drive equipment is then protected with the added benefit of increasing system productivity.

         

        Voith also offers fluid couplings with water as the operating medium (type TW), which is critical for operations located in potentially explosive atmospheres. Furthermore, spheroidal cast iron outer casings (type TU) are available and meet the required material specifications.

        TV – with delay chamber

        Voith | Constant-filled type TV fluid coupling with delay chamber
        The type TV fluid coupling is comparable to the type T fluid coupling; however, enhanced with a delay chamber. When starting up, torque is reduced, enabling the driven machine to start gently. The coupling also protects the drive against overload and dampens torsional vibrations, thereby protecting your system and increasing productivity. The type TV fluid coupling is predominantly used in drive conveyors and crushing and shredding machine applications. This fluid coupling is also available with two coaxially arranged work circuits (type DTV); the parallel-acting circuits double the power transmission.

         

        Additionally, Voith offers fluid couplings with water as the operating medium (type TWV). This is critical when operations are located in potentially explosive atmospheres. Furthermore, spheroidal cast iron outer casings (type TUV) are available and meet the required material specifications.

        TVV – with enlarged delay chamber

        Voith | Constant-filled type TVV fluid coupling with enlarged delay chamber
        When starting up, the working circuit has much less operating fluid. The driven machine starts up more gently, and the torque limitation behavior is significantly stronger during the startup. The coupling also protects the drive against overload and dampens torsional vibration, protecting your system and increasing productivity. 

        The type TVV fluid coupling is predominantly used in conveyor drives (e.g., belt conveyors and plate conveyors) and shredding machine applications. This fluid coupling is also available with two working circuits (type DTVV); the parallel-acting circuits double the power transmission.

        Furthermore, Voith offers fluid couplings with water as the operating medium (type TWVV). This is critical when operations are located in potentially explosive atmospheres. Again, spheroidal cast iron outer casings (type TUVV) are available and meet relevant material requirements..

        TVS – with delay chamber and annular chamber

        Voith | Constant-filled type TVS fluid coupling with delay chamber and annular chamber
        The type TVS fluid coupling is comparable to the fluid coupling type TV; however, enhanced with an annular chamber which results in more operating fluid in the coupling. A high thermal capacity facilitates higher starting frequencies and reversing operations, safeguarding the drive against overload and dampening its torsional vibrations, thus protecting your system and increasing productivity. The type TVS fluid coupling is used primarily in crusher drives.

         

        Additionally, Voith offers fluid couplings with water as the operating medium (type TWVS). This is critical when operations are located in potentially explosive atmospheres. Furthermore, spheroidal cast iron outer casings (type TUVS) are available and meet the required material specifications.

        TVVS – with enlarged delay chamber and annular chamber

        Voith | Constant-filled type TVVS fluid coupling with enlarged delay chamber and annular chamber
        The type TVVS fluid coupling is comparable to the type TVV fluid coupling, although enhanced with an annular chamber. When idling, the fluid levels in the delay chamber, working circuit, and annular chamber are identical. The driven machine starts up exceptionally gently, and the torque increase depends upon the load. Protecting your system while increasing its productivity, the coupling also provides drive protection against overload and dampens torsional vibrations. The type TVVS fluid coupling is predominantly used in belt conveyor drives..

         

        Additionally, Voith offers fluid couplings with water as the operating medium (type TWVVS). This is critical when operations are located in potentially explosive atmospheres.

        TV..F – with centrifugal valves

        Voith | Constant-filled type TV..F fluid coupling with centrifugal valves
        The type TV..F fluid coupling is a constant-filled coupling used in armored face conveyors, transfer conveyors, and crusher drives. Centrifugal valves control the filling and draining of the working circuit of the coupling and, thus, the power transmission. The motor starts almost load-free, even in the event of a voltage drop. The coupling torque is released shock-free and continuously until the required breakaway torque of the system is achieved. This permits overloaded-driven machines to be started up exceptionally gently, and the increase in torque depends on the load. The coupling also protects the drive against overload and dampens torsional vibration, protecting your system and increasing productivity.

        Additionally, Voith offers fluid couplings with water as the operating medium (type TWV..F). This is critical when operations are located in potentially explosive atmospheres. Furthermore, spheroidal cast iron outer casings (type TUV..F) are available and meet the required material specifications

        Benefits and uses

        • Load-free motor run-up
        • Smooth startup of the driven machine
        • Drive overload protection
        • Dampens torsional vibration in the drive
        • The automatic reaction to voltage drops and motor protection
        • Protects system components, thereby increasing service life
        • Robust and unsusceptible to environmental influences
        • Wear-free power transmission; less maintenance and repair work
        • Automatic load sharing in multi-motor drives protects against motor overload
        • Sequential startup of the motors reduces the load on the supply circuit

        TV..Y – with dynamic re-filling

        Voith | Constant-filled type TV..Y fluid coupling with refilling holes
        The type TV..Y fluid coupling is a constant-filled coupling used in centrifugal load drives (e.g., fan and mill applications). Through dynamic re-filling, the operating fluid is guided from the working circuit into the delay chamber during startup, depending on the slippage, ensuring an almost time-independent torque limitation and is thus suitable for longer startup times. The coupling also protects the drive against overload and dampens torsional vibrations, protecting your system and increasing productivity. This fluid coupling is available with two coaxially arranged work circuits (type DTV..Y); these parallel circuits double the power transmission.

         

        Additionally, Voith offers fluid couplings with water as the operating medium (type TWV..Y). This is critical when operations are located in potentially explosive atmospheres. Furthermore, spheroidal cast iron outer casings (type TUV..Y) are available and meet the required material specifications.

        Benefits and uses

        • Load-free motor run-up
        • Soft startup with temporally extended torque limitation for longer startup times
        • Drive overload protection
        • Dampens torsional vibration in the drive
        • Protects system components, thereby increasing service life
        • Robust and unsusceptible to environmental influences
        • Wear-free power transmission; less maintenance and repair work
        • Automatic load sharing in multi-motor drives protects the motor against overload

        Thermal monitoring and switching devices

        Voith | BTM non-contact thermal monitoring device

        BTM (non-contact thermal monitoring device)


        The non-contact thermal monitoring device continuously determines the temperature of the operating medium in the fluid coupling. The device provides an active analog signal that can be constantly monitored for safety, also process control as a secondary function. The BTM is typically used on belt conveyors with long and frequent startup procedures and crusher and shredder applications.
        Voith | BTS non-contact thermal switching device

        BTS (non-contact thermal switching device)


        The BTS monitors the coupling temperature contact-free. When reaching the activation temperature, the BTS switches the motor off or triggers an alarm signal. This system is particularly suitable for applications with lengthy startup procedures or frequently occurring overloads. Typical fields of application for the BTS are, for example, medium and long belt conveyors, crushers, hammer mills, and bucket wheel excavators. For use in potentially explosive atmospheres, the BTS Ex is available.
        Voith | MTS mechanical thermal switching device

        MTS (mechanical thermal switching device)


        The MTS monitors the temperature of the coupling. When reaching the activation temperature, it switches the motor off or triggers an alarm signal. The MTS is particularly suitable for applications where thermal overloading is not very common, e.g., where start-up procedures are short and occur infrequently. The MTS is predominantly used for mixers, short belt conveyors, and bucket conveyors. It is also suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

          TPKL

          Voith | Fill-controlled fluid coupling type TPKL
          The type TPKL fill-controlled fluid coupling is especially suitable for belt conveyors in rugged and harsh mining industry environments. Ideal for the respective load condition of the belt, the TPKL regulates acceleration exceptionally gently, which protects the belt, prevents downtime, and increases the system's service life. These fluid couplings ensure active load sharing in multi-motor drives. Even complicated start-up procedures are possible at short sequential intervals, thanks to the stand-still re-cooling.


          The type DTPKL has two axially arranged working circuits that operate in parallel, enabling twice as much power transmission at the same overall height. The variant (D)TPKL-R has a flatter, although more extended, tank for lower shaft center line heights. The most compact design is the (D)TPKL-E, which has no oil tank. The tank is situated externally or, e.g., integrated into the swing frame.

          The type CPC fill-controlled fluid couplings are particularly suitable for heavy-duty underground mining use in armored face conveyors and have a power transmission range of up to 1,600 kW. Designed to start your armored face conveyor in a controlled manner, even under heavily loaded conditions, the coupling has a very high thermal capacity, that allows for multiple startups. The innovative XL wheel profile enables the coupling to transfer up to 60% more power in the same installation space, resulting in increased system availability with the highest system productivity.

          The hydrodynamic coupling circuit is specifically designed for your chain conveyor. The coupling limits the torque in the drive chain to a defined maximum value, which protects the chains and all components against damage. Furthermore, the availability of the armored face conveyor increases and the maintenance costs remain low.

          The coupling operates with water as a non-combustible and environmentally friendly operating medium. Moreover, water is always available underground. No additional and cost-intensive explosion protection measures are necessary when installing this coupling.

          Benefits and uses

          • Overload protection of the drive chain
          • Higher power transmission (up to 60%) compared with similar-sized couplings
          • Unlimited start-up attempts following a blocked armored face conveyor
          • Optimally set torque limit for your system
          • Wear-free power transmission resulting in reduced maintenance and repairs

          DTPKWL2

          Voith | The fill-controlled fluid coupling type DTPKWL2 for armored face conveyors
          The fill-controlled fluid coupling, type DTPKWL2, is especially suited for heavy-duty usage in armored face conveyors. In underground coal mines, this coupling provides optimal startup and operational control of the armored face conveyor. Additionally, the high thermal capacity allows for multiple startups even when heavily laden.
           
          The coupling's hydrodynamic circuit is specially designed for chain conveyors, as it limits the torque in the drivetrain to a fixed value. This torque limitation protects the chain and all the drive components from damage, thereby increasing the availability and productivity of the armored face conveyor while keeping maintenance costs low.

          Water is a non-combustible and environmentally-friendly operating medium, so the coupling requires no additional costly explosion protection measures. Moreover, water is also readily available underground.

          Benefits and uses

          • Unloaded motor run-up
          • Smooth startup of the driven machine
          • Protection of the drive chain in the event of an overload
          • Torsional vibration dampening of the drive chain
          • Unlimited startup attempts following a blocked armored face conveyor
          • Optimally set the torque limit for your system
          • Protects system components, thereby increasing service life
          • Robust and unsusceptible to environmental influences
          • Wear-free power transmission; less maintenance and repair work
          • Automatic load sharing in multi-motor drives protects against motor overload
          • Timely, stepped run-up of the motors reduces the load on the supply circuit

          TP...

          Turbokupplungen Typ (D)TPK und (D)TP
          The type TP fill-controlled fluid coupling is predominantly used in shredding machine drives. The filling level of the coupling can be controlled, allowing load-free motor run-up and controlling of the torque. Thanks to the hydrodynamic principle, the fluid coupling dampens torsional vibration and torque shocks, thus protecting the drive and increasing the productivity of your system. Due to the active cooling circuit, the TP fluid coupling has a high thermal capacity. This facilitates a smoother startup and acceleration of the driven machine over a longer period of time. Additionally, this fluid coupling is available with two axially arranged working circuits (type DTP); these parallel acting circuits double the power transmission.
           

          For type TPW, the operating medium is water, which makes this coupling especially suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

              Operating principle

                The hydrodynamic principle


                Hydrodynamic couplings transmit mechanical power from the motor to the driven machine via fluid flow via two bladed wheels positioned face to face. The primary wheel (red) is connected to the motor and acts like a rotary pump, while the secondary wheel (blue) is connected to the driven machine and acts like a turbine. Power transmission is proportional to the fill level in the working circuit. As a result of the mechanical separation of the drive and driven sides, the hydrodynamic coupling transfers the power wear-free, simultaneously dampening torsional vibration and torque shocks in the drive chain.
