Voith GmbH & Co. KGaA

Universal Joint Shafts
Universal joint shafts from Voith transmit torque from a driving machine to a driven machine and can accommodate a high degree of misalignment. Reliability and efficiency is our top priority.

We supply standard universal joint shafts, customer-specific adaptations, custom designs, center sections, connection technology and shaft support systems. Our wide range of services includes technical consultation, simulation of torsional vibrations and measurement of operating parameters.

Voith universal joint shafts ensure productivity and reduce maintenance costs. The torque capacity extends beyond 20,000 kNm (14 million lbf ft).

Voith FlexPad: Intelligent wear protection
Voith FlexPad is the intelligent wear protection for joint shaft couplings. The Voith FlexPad Roll End Hub (REH) design increases hub body operational life. With selective load application and load distribution wear is evenly transferred into the FlexPad wear plates, which significantly reduces the operational and maintenance cost

Voith Highly Flexible Couplings shift resonance frequencies in a driveline out of the speed range. They also damp critical torsional vibration amplitudes and torque shocks.

Our product portfolio includes:
- Flexible and highly flexible couplings
- Torsional vibration calculations (TVC)
- Torsional vibration measurement and analysis (TVM/TVA)
- Engineering and customer-specific solutions

The couplings improve the availability of all drive components and thus reduce life cycle costs for the system. The transmitted torques range up to over 500 kNm.

 

Torque limiting couplings from Voith protect all components in the driveline, allowing your equipment to work at a maximum level. In the event of a catastrophically high torque occurrence, the couplings interrupt the power flow in the driveline. This means that consequential damage and production downtime remain at a minimum. Special designs provide additional advantages to the production process.

Our product portfolio includes SafeSet, SmartSet and AutoSet couplings. Torque capacity available from 1 to 20 000 kNm.

Voith connection couplings transmit torque, backlash-free in a friction joint. They transfer the most torque in relation to size, which adds high performance and allows for more effective dimensioning of the driveline. Setting and releasing occurs hydraulically, which enables fast installation, service and maintenance. All models can be customized to suit existing, as well as newly designed interfaces. Torque capacity available from 1 to 20 000 kNm.
