Vorecon variable speed planetary gears
Combining reliable mechanical design with hydrodynamic power transmission, a Vorecon variable speed planetary gear expertly controls the speed of pumps, compressors and fans.
With a Vorecon solution from Voith, the process at hand determines the speed at which your machine is driven. The result: tremendous energy savings in comparison to throttle or bypass control systems. Experience has shown that our customers can amortize a Vorecon installation in just a few years of service. Also, hydrodynamic power transmission is wear-free.
Your benefits at a glance
- excellent overall efficiency: up to 2% better than electronic variable speed drive systems
- extremely long lifetime
- minimum installation space
Key technical data
- power: 1-50 MW
- output speed: Up to 20,000 rpm
- MTBF: ~ 48 years
- reliability: ~ 99.98%
Areas of application
From power plants to LNG, the Vorecon variable speed planetary gears are successfully used worldwide in compressors and pumps throughout the oil, gas and power industries.
Key components: Planetary gear
How the Vorecon works
Please note: Long loading time required as the file size is large (60 MB).
Geared variable speed couplings
Variable speed drives fitted with a Voith geared variable speed coupling are compact, efficient – and offer unbeatable reliability.
A product proven to provide 99.98% reliability is something you can count on in your designs – such as a geared variable speed coupling from Voith. In addition to their outstanding reliability, they are suitable for power of up to 30 MW and output speeds of up to 20,000 rpm. Used in combination, a standard motor and a geared variable speed coupling from Voith make a strong team in thermal power plants and in oil and gas industry applications.
But what makes our geared variable speed coupling really stand out is its ability to perform three functions in one: speed control, transmission for speed conversion, and lube oil delivery to the entire driveline, thanks to its integrated oil supply system. We also guarantee that you can procure spare parts over the product’s entire lifetime.
Your benefits at a glance
- three in one: speed control, transmission for speed conversion and integrated oil supply
- compact and efficient
- unbeatable reliability
Key technical data
- power: 1-30 MW
- output speed: Up to 20,000 rpm
- lifetime: Over 30 years
- reliability: ~ 99.97%
Areas of application
Engineered to withstand harsh ambient conditions and potentially explosive atmospheres, our geared variable speed couplings are ideal for pumps and compressors used in the oil and gas industries as well as in thermal and nuclear power plants.
