CD-ROM details fill-controlled fluid couplings

A Voith Turbo product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Mar 30, 2009

Voith Turbo has launched a multimedia CD-ROM that features animations of fill-controlled fluid couplings.

Fill-controlled fluid couplings operate on the principle of hydrodynamic power transmission; this means that torque is transmitted by a liquid - and occurs in a wear-free manner.

The CD-ROM contains animations of fill-controlled couplings, as well as animated demonstrations of the principles of hydrodynamics and several examples of typical applications.

Voith fill-controlled couplings handle the difficult drive requirements in a variety of applications in the conveying and processing fields.

The main field of applications for this type of coupling include: belt conveyor systems up to several kilometres long; armoured face conveyors (AFC) for underground coal-mining operations; heavy-duty shredders, such as those used in metal recycling; and ball mills used in material processing.

Voith couplings transmit from a few hundred kilowatts up to several megawatts of power.

They ensure controlled acceleration of the driven machine, effectively dampen shocks and vibrations in the drive line, adjust the speed precisely and provide effective overload protection.

They can be used to easily incorporate a clutching function and provide active load sharing in multi-motor drives.

Voith Turbo said it has designed the CD-ROM with the viewpoint of the customer in mind.

In addition to introducing fill-controlled fluid couplings as a product together with the basic principles of operation, examples of applications illustrate the benefits and advantages of using Voith couplings in drive lines.

The CD-ROM is available in English and German, and can be ordered from the Voith Turbo website.
