With the new friction fluid coupling TurboSyn, Voith Turbo has succeeded in increasing the economy of single drives and utilizing the potential for energy savings. With this new fluid coupling, the nominal slip for which fluid couplings are renowned has been eliminated.
For the operation of mills, this means for example lower energy requirements and outputs increased by approximately three percent - for fans even up to ten percent. As a result, the annual throughput increases considerably.
The new Voith fluid coupling combines the existing advantages of a hydrodynamic coupling with a new principle that has been patented worldwide. The hydrodynamic advantages which are so important for the start-up procedure, e. g. motor protection and smooth acceleration of the driven machine, are retained, while nominal operation now takes place without slip.
The basic design of the TurboSyn is similar to that of a standard Voith fluid coupling. The inner wheel consists, however, of pivoting segments which are attached to the hub in a rotary fashion. As soon as a certain speed has been reached, the segments radially swivel to the outside and create a friction connection between inner wheel and coupling shell. As a result, the differing speeds of outer and inner part are synchronized and a direct connection between input and output is realized.
