Voith Turbo. Voith Buffer Roller Coupling

Voith Turbo Voith Buffer Roller

Prevent overload damage and accommodates alignment The patented Voith Buffer Roller (BR) transmits torque, between connected drive shafts. O Outer plate C Buffer set E Inner hub I Inner plate Z Bolts and nuts R Outer ring F Rigid hub Overview of standard components Product description The coupling uses a ring of flexible buffers, which compensate for axial, radial and angular offsets within the limits given in the table of alignment values on page 2. The patented buffer elements in the Voith BR are elastomeric cylinders located in pockets formed between the inner hub and outer ring. The large- volume buffers ensure that severe vibration loads are dampened. Buffers of softer compounds reduce vibrational loading more effectively than harder compound buffers, while harder compound buffers have a greater torque load capability. The life of the buffers is determined by the accuracy of alignment as well as the workload. The coupling has ample operation life in ideal working conditions. Fatigue failures can be avoided by scheduling a buffer change after 1 000 hours of operation or by adjusting this period according to the life of the initial buffer set. Typical Applications Centrifugal pumps. Fans and vane compressors. Hammer mills. Bucket elevators. Scraper conveyors. Belt conveyors. Power generators. Ball mills. Turbine drives. Fluid couplings. Crushers. Calendars and shaker screens. Reciprocating pumps. Piston compressors. Axial float applications. Cross travel & long crane drives. Steel mill roller tables. Heavy reverse drives. Limited float available. Key benefits Overload protection capacity. Shock and vibration absorbtion. Choice of buffer materials. Alignment compensation. Ease of buffer replacement. operation and overload protection For almost 100% of it s operational time, a Voith BR overload protection flexible coupling is in a loaded mode of operation. When loaded, the flexible buffers are subjected to radial compression as the torque increases. Overload protection is achieved by a buffer rolling action. Overload protection can be adjusted by using fewer buffers with a minimum of two. Divide the couplings nominal torque by the full quantity of buffers. Divide this value into the required torque to establish how many buffers should be used. Insert evenly spaced. Reduces shock and vibration The Voith BR has high torsional flexibility, significantly dampens shock loads and torsional vibrations, protecting connected equipment. The non-linear spring characteristic of the coupling and the buffer damping properties counteracts any magnification of vibrations. 1

No axial Forces Easy alignment No Load Full Load Tn The coupling in Fig1 is recommended for axial float as seen in the gap tolerance in the table of alignment values below. Fig1 Fig2 Fig3 Angular displacement (deg) Fig2 shows overload protection. Fig3 shows torsional angle. r Radial or Parallel a Angular or Variance g - Minus + Plus Gap or Axial Alignment compensation The radial, angular as well as axial alignment values may be exceeded. However compensation of serious alignment, in particular the radial alignment, can adversely affect the Table of alignment values bearing life of driver and driven machine as well as the buffer life. Regular alignment checking is, therefore, important. When aligning the coupling, ensure that the dimensions r,a,and g are considered. Correct aligning of the coupling will increase the service life of the buffers. If the alignment is beyond the limits, the effect will be seen on the buffers and a shorter operational life will be the result.

Buffer replacement Radial Axial s do not require any servicing during operation. We recommend that a new buffer set is fitted during any major overhauls of the drive system. The coupling inner hub has a fastened plate that can be removed for access to the buffers, for inspection or replacing in situ, where enough space is available. Coat the buffers with a suitable lubricant before assembly. French chalk or silicon Diagram left illustrates buffer replacement. oil for natural rubber and oil or grease for nitrile urethane and composite materials. Apply the tightening torques listed in table below when fastening this plate and the ring with connecting set screws. When assembling ring onto hubs, gently tighten the set screws in cross order until the spigot is fully located before progressively tightening to the required torque as listed below.

selection procedure Step 1. Calculate Nominal Tn using Absorbed power Pa(kW). When not available use motor power. The installed or motor power (kw) is preferred in cases where the coupling must hold the stall power. Nominal is: Table 1 - Buffer materials Tn = Pa (kw) x 0 Shaft speed (rpm) Step 2. Multiply the answer by the service factor (SF) from Table 3. required is: Tr = Tn x SF Note: Tr must be smaller than Tp (peak torque of coupling). Step 3. Using this answer check coupling torque (Tp) in Table 2 and select the correct buffer material from Table 1. Step. Check the maximum speed (rpm), inertia, mass, bore sizes, keys and taperbush torque capacity where applicable.

Voith buffer roller overload protection flexible coupling. Model ECK The coupling assembly with nitrile 80a (black) buffers are pre-selected to suit Voith and other similar fluiddrive couplings. Checks are therefore, only required when the other buffer materials are used. This coupling accommodates the axial growth due to heat expansion and allows the axial movement required.

Installation Installation is done to normal engineering practice, applicable to the type of application required. The BR design has large bore size capacities that allow for various types of taper bushes or locking elements to be fitted. The Voith QF bush has been used successfully in both keyed and keyless applications. Higher torque may require the use of Voith SLD units.
