Fluid couplings (turbo couplings) from Voith Turbo have proven them-
selves in millions of applications. They are operating reliably all over the
world. Based on our comprehensive experience and close co-operation
with our customers, the TVVS coupling was developed: a genuine „soft-
start“ device, highly suitable for demanding drives in the material hand-
ling and processing industry.
The Voith Turbo TVVS fluid coupling provides torque to the prevailing load. For belt conveyors,
outstanding characteristics, such as excellent the stresses on the belt are significantly reduced.
limitation of start-up torques, as well as auto- Other benefits: higher service life of the system,
matic adaptation of the maximum transmittable as well as low maintenance costs and downtime.

Powerful components
for demanding drives
Classic fields of application for the TVVS are the drives of belt con-
veyors with higher capacities and lengths. During the start-up pro-
cess, the TVVS soft-start coupling ensures optimum adaptation of the
introduced torque to the prevailing load condition. The unique control
functions of the TVVS are automatic and require no external interven-
tion or modification of the filling level of the coupling.

The right design
for your drive
The various designs of Voith soft-start fluid couplings meet even the
most stringent operating conditions. The housing consists either of
Silumin or spheroidal cast iron. The couplings can be operated with
mineral oil, water or fire-retardant fluids.
Apart from its main field of application, i. e. the with demanding and difficult operating conditions.
