A Sophisticated Soft-start System –

Constant-fill Fluid Couplings Type TVVS


TVVS couplings from Voith Turbo –
perfectly smooth start-ups

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.

matic adaptation of the maximum transmittable as well as low maintenance costs and downtime.

The advantages of TVVS soft-start


couplings in belt conveyor drives:

■ Smooth acceleration ■ Higher service life of belt and other conveyor
■ Alleviation of undesirable start-up conditions drive components

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.
