The advantages
Speed control offers higher
efficiency compared to throttle
control, during part-load operation. Reduced power and elimination of high wear throttle
device.
High control accuracy and fast
reaction times.
Relieved motor start-up and
smooth acceleration of heavy
masses.
Robust design with long service
life and high availability; easy
maintenance.
Easy to operate, low-maintenance components for universal
application as speed control and
speed setting units.
Suitable for a wide variety of
environmental conditions (i.e.
applications in tropical climates,
in the desert, in low temperature
zones; explosion-proof designs
are also available).
Wear-free transmission of power
through hydrodynamic energy of
a fluid.
Low investment cost.
Oil supply to connected equipment.
Separation of driving and driven
machine during operation.
Damping of torsional vibrations
and shock loads.
Realization of special requirements, such as load-free and/or
quick start-ups, starting torque
limitation and/or limitation of
acceleration or deceleration.

Voith variable-speed turbo couplings are fluid couplings, connecting
the prime mover – in most cases
an electric motor – with the driven
machine. The coupling transmits
the power by means of the kinetic
energy of the fluid, mostly oil, circulating in a closed working chamber
between the pump wheel on the
input shaft and an identical turbine
wheel, connected to the output shaft.
The fill level of operating fluid can
be varied during operation between
“full” and “drained”, thus enabling
exact and dynamic speed control of
the driven machine across a wide
range when the coupling operates
against different load characteristics.
This operating range depends on
the load characteristics (torque
relative to speed) and the required
control accuracy.

If the speed is to be used as a
process value or if it is to be
displayed or to be incorporated,
a speed measuring device is
required.
Similar to the speed, a process
value (e. g. pressure, flow, etc.)
can be incorporated into a control
circuit. Then this process value is
used as set value.

Coupling type SVTL has a selfsupporting design in a tunnel
housing. The rotating parts are
supported in the closed, oil-tight
housing. Main motor and driven
machine are connected to the
variable-speed coupling via shaft
couplings.
The oil tank is integrated into the
housing, the oil pump is direct
driven by the input shaft. The shafts
are supported in antifriction bearings
which are force lubricated using

Variable-speed turbo couplings
Types SVNL, SVNLG
Coupling types SVNL and SVNLG
are of self-supporting design with a
horizontally split housing.
The rotating parts are located in the
completely closed, oil-tight housing.
Main motor and driven machine are
connected to the variable-speed
turbo coupling via shaft couplings.
The oil tank is integrated into the
housing, a centrifugal oil pump (or,
with certain designs, a gear pump)
is used which is direct driven by the
input shaft.
With type SVNL, the main shafts
have antifriction bearings. The bearings are forced lubricated using
pressurized oil.
With type SVNLG, the main shafts
have sleeve bearings. The bearings
are force lubricated by pressurized
oil. For pre-lubrication prior to startup, an electric motor driven auxiliary
lubrication pump is added.

Variable-speed turbo couplings
Type SVL
Coupling type SVL has a selfsupporting design with high power
density. Input and output shafts are
supported separately in a cast iron
housing. Main motor and driven
machine are connected to the
variable-speed turbo coupling via
shaft couplings.
The oil sump is flanged to the housing. The coupling has two oil circuits:
working oil and lubricating oil.
Both are operated by mechanically
driven pumps. A flow control valve
adjusts the flow of the operating oil,
thereby saving energy. The shafts
are supported in sleeve bearings
which are force lubricated using
pressurized oil.

Variable-speed turbo couplings
Type SVTW
Variable-speed turbo coupling type
SVTW is operated with water
instead of mineral oil as operating
medium. It combines a new concept
with proven technology. The coupling is directly flanged to the motor
which results in compact design
and easy installation.
The coupling type is available both
in horizontal and vertical design.
Applications are, amongst others,
in the drive of pumps in irrigation
systems, in municipal water works
and associated waste water systems. The pumped water can be
used as operating medium.

Variable-speed turbo couplings
Types SVN, SVNK
Coupling type SVNK is partly selfsupported. On the input side the
weight of the rotating parts is supported by the shaft of the main
motor; on the output side, a bearing
is installed in the scoop tube housing to support the weight.
Type SVN has a non self-supporting
design, i. e. the weight of the rotating parts is supported by the motor
shaft and the driven machine. As a
result of this simplified design, the
shortest possible distance between
driving and driven shaft can be
achieved. The fixed parts with the
scoop tube housing and the scoop
tube are mounted on top of the oil
tank.

Variable-speed turbo couplings
Types SVNL vert., SVNK vert.
Coupling type SVNL vert. is selfsupported and has a vertical
design. The rotating parts are fully
supported in the housing.
Coupling type SVNK vert. is partly
self-supported and has also been
designed for vertical applications.
The coupling is supported by the
main motor shaft on the input side;
on the output side, a bearing has
been incorporated into the scoop
tube housing.
The housing of both types can be
adapted to the flange of the driven
machine. The oil supply is ensured
by a separate oil supply system.
Depending on size, designs with
both antifriction and sleeve bearings
are available.
