Type T fluid coupling is the basic version of constant-filled coupling; such couplings are used in drives for different applications, such as cranes, bucket conveyors, stackers, and reclaimers. These couplings are particularly suitable if overload protection and vibration damping are required. This fluid coupling is also available with two work circuits (type DT). The parallel-acting circuits double the power transmission. Your drive equipment is then protected with the added benefit of increasing system productivity
Voith also offers fluid couplings with water as the operating medium (type TW), which is critical for operations located in potentially explosive atmospheres. Furthermore, spheroidal cast iron outer casings (type TU) are available and meet the required material specifications.
Benefits and uses
Load-free motor run-up
Smooth startup of the driven machine
Overload drive protection
Dampens torsional vibration in the drive chain
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 starting of the multi-motors reduces the load on the supply circuit
Typical fields of use
Stacker and reclaimer
Bucket elevator
Cranes
Separators
Yaw drives
