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. Furthermore, spheroidal cast iron outer casings (type TUVVS) are available and meet the required material specifications.
Benefits and uses
Load-free motor run-up
Gentle startup of the belt conveyor – up to 45s
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 against motor overload
Sequential startup of the motors reduces the load on the supply circuit
Automatic adjustment to the load condition of the belt through extended torque build-up
