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..
