Voith SafeSet coupling with instant release

July 22, 2019 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

Voith-logo-imageThe SafeSet principle is simple: friction and adaptability. No material fatigue or wear ensures constant torque protection during operation. The SafeSet coupling includes a twin-walled hollow sleeve. Friction is generated upon expansion by pressurized hydraulic oil. The integrated shear tube holds pressure to ensure a constant but easy adaptable torque transmission. In an overload situation the SafeSet slips and the shear tube shears off. Oil pressure drops and the frictional surfaces separate. Then the SafeSet rotates on the bearings without transmitting any torque.

Design features
Torque range between 1 and 20 000 kNm, depending on model and use
Adjustable torque settings to suit all applications
Immediate release at a pre-set torque in the event of a torque overload

Benefits
Maximum driveline protection — damaging inertia disengage at once
Set torque remains constant over time
Quick resetting for maximum uptime
Custom made to suit individual requirements
