The type TV fluid coupling is comparable to the type T fluid coupling; however, enhanced with a delay chamber. When starting up, torque is reduced, enabling the driven machine to start gently. The coupling also protects the drive against overload and dampens torsional vibrations, thereby protecting your system and increasing productivity. The type TV fluid coupling is predominantly used in drive conveyors and crushing and shredding machine applications. This fluid coupling is also available with two coaxially arranged work circuits (type DTV); the parallel-acting circuits double the power transmission.
Additionally, Voith offers fluid couplings with water as the operating medium (type TWV). This is critical when operations are located in potentially explosive atmospheres. Furthermore, spheroidal cast iron outer casings (type TUV) are available and meet the required material specifications.
