The type TV..Y fluid coupling is a constant-filled coupling used in centrifugal load drives (e.g., fan and mill applications). Through dynamic re-filling, the operating fluid is guided from the working circuit into the delay chamber during startup, depending on the slippage, ensuring an almost time-independent torque limitation and is thus suitable for longer startup times. The coupling also protects the drive against overload and dampens torsional vibrations, protecting your system and increasing productivity. This fluid coupling is available with two coaxially arranged work circuits (type DTV..Y); these parallel circuits double the power transmission.
Additionally, Voith offers fluid couplings with water as the operating medium (type TWV..Y). This is critical when operations are located in potentially explosive atmospheres. Furthermore, spheroidal cast iron outer casings (type TUV..Y) are available and meet the required material specifications.
