Simplified cross section: 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Pump wheel Turbine wheel Shell Scoop tube housing Oil sump Oil circulation pump Scoop tube Working oil cooler

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. It circulates in a closed working chamber between the pump wheel, connected to the input shaft, and a turbine wheel, connected to the output shaft. The filling grade of the operating fluid can be varied during operation between 0% and 100%, thus enabling exact and stepless speed control of the driven machine. The operating range depends on the load characteristics (torque relative to speed).

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 connecting 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 are supported by antifriction bearings. The bearings are force lubricated using pressurized oil. With type SVNLG, the main shafts are supported by sleeve bearings. The bearings are force lubricated by pressurized oil. For pre-lubrication prior to start-up, an electric motor driven auxiliary lubrication pump is added.

Coupling type SVL has a self-supporting 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 connecting couplings.

The oil sump is flanged to the housing. The coupling has two oil circuits: a working oil and a lubricating oil circuit. Both circuits are with mechanically driven pumps. A flow control valve adjusts the working oil flow to save energy. The shafts are supported in sleeve bearings which are force lubricated using pressurized oil.

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.

Some applications are 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.
