Hydraulic Removal Device

The hydraulic removal device is designed to pull off T-couplings from the gear box shaft with a high force and a low screw torque at the same time. Depending on the coupling size, there are three different removal devices. So the maximal pull-off measurement varies up to 80t. Generally speaking, hydraulic removal device pull off couplings the smoothest and most comfortable way. Besides, it protects couplings and equipment so that a longer life time can be achieved.

Grease

We use special calcium complex soap-based grease with addition of MoS2 and graphite for lubricating plain bearings that are exposed to high levels of stress and for high temperatures and especially stringent requirements regarding corrosion and wear protection. These characteristics ensure a high level of availability and long maintenance intervals.

Oils

Voith HIFLUID excels due to its high natural viscosity class that is also shear-stable. As a result, the product can be used over a wide temperature range with only a slight change in viscosity.
Voith HIFLUID HFD-U is a fire-resistant fluid of viscosity class ISO VG 46 that contains neither chlorinated hydrocarbons nor esters of phosphoric acid. The density of this fluid is lower than the density of water thus ensuring maximum power transfer with minimum loss – better than any standard oil.

Advantages

• Maximum power transfer with minimum loss
• Cost-efficient operation
• Fire-resistant and biodegradable
• Excellent wear protection
• Outstanding corrosion protection
• Superior viscosity-temperature behavior
• Very good foaming characteristics

Lifting Device

Improper fastening and lifting of the fluid coupling may cause personal injury and damage to property. The coupling may be lifted only at the lifting points provided.

For this we share our lifting tool for different applications. We offer the swivel sling for the workshop, and for inaccessible work on site. These lifting tools ensure fast, safe and correct working procedures; the tool is also engineered and approved.

Non-contact Temperature Measuring Device

BTM- Continuous sensing of the current temperature of the operating fluid in the Voith Turbo fluid coupling represents a new capability and offers two decisive benefits: The thermal reserves of the coupling can be better utilized and intervention in the process to achieve specific objectives is more readily accomplished. The resultant increases in productivity and the reduced number of shutdowns and the associated downtime increase the efficiency and profitability of your equipment.

And what's more: Voith can also service the couplings of other manufacturers.

Voith helps your system stage a high-performance comeback.

Requirements change. Sometimes this means replacing older systems with newer ones. Other times, a modernization upgrade is enough. In this case, Voith experts analyze the data from the existing system and then bring it up to the state-of-the-art using conversions. With this approach, you increase the service life of your driveline and also elevate your system's performance.

To ensure a successful comeback for your system, Voith service technicians perform an equipment condition analysis on site and determine the potential. If modernization is performed based on these results, we offer you the same services available for a new system: Test and simulation runs, the personal presence of Voith service technicians during the commissioning phase and documentation of the optimal performance condition for future checks.

Of course, your employees will be trained on the operation of the new components. We ensure optimal operation of your driveline with regular service intervals and personal support over the entire service life of the system.

Voith checks to ensure your system is always running perfectly and reliably.

Even short system downtimes often translate into high losses. This is exactly where Voith follow-up service comes into play. We continue to support you and your employees in how best to properly handle your coupling, even after commissioning.

Regular service intervals are also important to keep your driveline operating at its best. This runs from simple services like coupling filter and oil checks to detailed services like performance checks that evaluates overall system performance. We adapt our service to your system's service intervals, so that no additional production stops are necessary.

Make use of these service intervals to keep your system running at maximum performance over the long haul.

Voith services for condition monitoring

• Regular checks for optimal equipment status referenced to the acceptance check in order to detect trends and prevent damage
• Ensure availability using regular performance checks
• Oil check, filter replacement, provisioning of consumable spares, intelligent spare parts management
• Driveline measurements: endoscopy, thermography, vibration analysis, performance checks, laser alignment, noise emission measurement

As one of the leading manufacturer of hydrodynamic start-up solutions we offer also professional product and service trainings maintained by experienced Voith After Market experts to our customers. To make our service trainings even more practice-oriented and to show more insights, we developed a new service training concept. Trained employees will be able to handle and take care of the coupling in an optimum way to ensure a proper function and a reliable operation.
To understand each component, it is helpful to see its performance and appearance. Together with comprehensive illustrations, worksheets and presentations we offer you an excellent training for your employees.
