Voith Turbo - Start-Up ComponentsWho are we? People all over the world can answer this question. Wherever machines are started and moved, wherever power needs to be transmitted under extreme conditions, wherever a maximum of reliability is required thats where we are at home. Within the Voith Group of Companies we are the experts who have the solution for your problems in the field of industrial power transmission backed by the experience of over half a century. WHAT DO WE MANUFACTURE? Our products:
have evolved from innovations pioneered by the engineering genius Professor Hermann Foettinger (1877-1945). The principle of hydrodynamic power transmission is based on the interaction between a pump and a turbine. In a turbo coupling, this principle is realised by means of two bladed wheels. Together with a surrounding shell, these create a working chamber in which fluid circulates. The actual transmission of power occurs without any wear, as the transmitting components do not touch each other. The only parts subject to natural wear are components such as bearings and seals. BENEFITS OF FLUID COUPLINGS IN MARINE PROPULSION SYSTEMS
Due to the following features of the fluid couplings:
THE SHIP BUILDING INDUSTRY OUR PARTNER!Our partnership to the shipbuilding industry is nearly as old as the turbo coupling itself. For over 50 years, Voith Turbo has been supplying couplings for a wide range of marine applications especially ferries, tugs, workboats and cargo vessels. 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. DRIVE SOLUTIONS! Voith turbo couplings can be found everywhere on inland and coastal waterways and the oceans of the world in the drives of:
