Voith - Fluid Couplings for Mining

Voith offers fluid couplings and solutions for highly efficient and reliable drive system solutions for the mining industry and the handling of raw materials.

The hydrodynamic principle of a fluid coupling makes it easy to gently accelerate driven machines. At the same time, fluid couplings limit torque, provide load sharing, and dampen torsional vibrations.

The coupling protects the drive system from damage even under extreme operating conditions. This reduces down time and ensures a continuous production process.

Fluid couplings and drive solutions

Our product portfolio includes:

• Constant-fill fluid couplings
• Fill-controlled fluid couplings
• Customer-specific drive solutions

Our drive solutions are reliable and specifically tailored to each drive system - from individual couplings to complete driveline solutions.

The transmittable power ranges from 300W up to 6MW.

Couplings for mining applications

Our partnership with the mining industry is nearly as old as the turbo coupling itself. For over 50 years, Voith has been supplying couplings for a wide range of mining applications above ground and underground, especially for belt conveyors, armoured face conveyors and crushers.

The experience and the know-how gained by both partners have been and will always be the basis for further improvements of our couplings - we adapt our products continuously to the requirements of our customers. Close co-operation with international technical associations and our presence on numerous engineering committees provide our research activities with an additional impact.
