Technology Group Voith and Swiss holding company PCS Holding are planning to acquire a combined 59% of the shares in Traktionssysteme Austria GmbH (TSA) with its headquarters in Wiener Neudorf. A corresponding purchase contract was signed on April 29, 2020. TSA is the world’s leading manufacturer of electric motors, generators and transmissions for rail and […]

The Voith TurboCool coupling optimizes the operation of gas compressor stations with engine-driven cooling fans. This coupling reliably regulates the speed of the fans to maintain optimum cooling performance. The advantages: The cooling system does not freeze up and does not overheat. This increases availability to the compressor station. The cooling system requires less power. […]

Having a highly efficient and reliable drive system increases production and provides peace of mind. Whether you require fluid couplings or a customized drive package, Voith is your partner of choice. We assist you in gently accelerating your driven machine, owing to the hydrodynamic principle, thereby extending the life of your system. At the same […]

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 […]

The Hirth coupling is a machine component that connects and precisely positions shafts, wheels, disks, and cranks in many areas of mechanical engineering to one another. They can be manufactured from most metals and from plastics. In addition, the Hirth coupling is a connection component that is easy to release. But there are other applications […]

Shortly before the turn of the calendar year, technology group Voith was able to sign another two purchase agreements. In this way, the company is consistently and rapidly advancing its core business. After successfully purchasing Swiss paper technology enterprise BTG for 319 million euros from listed British company Spectris plc on December 1, 2019, Voith […]

From 2022 onwards, none of the Voith locations around the world will leave a carbon footprint going forward. In this way, the Voith Group is making a significant contribution to climate protection. “As a global technology company, we consider the efficient use of resources and energy at all locations worldwide to be part of our […]

K Couplings are the standard for our highly flexible couplings. They feature a modular design and can be integrated into your drive system with a high degree of flexibility. This makes this type of coupling an ideal and cost-effective choice for many applications in a wide range of industrial sectors. K Couplings dampen torsional vibrations […]

SmartSet is a torque limiting coupling with controlled slip based on the same technology as SafeSet, with the additional ability to also slip without releasing, to reduce short duration and dynamic torque peaks without interupting production. The SmartSet principle is simple: controlled slip torque for process improvement. The SmartSet coupling has the ability to slip […]

The 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 […]

Voith introduces Dtect, its intelligent monitoring system that provides real-time data of driveline performance and coupling status. Based on this, the operator can take actions to prevent potential problems and avoid unplanned downtime. By supporting better decision making, Dtect helps to increase productivity as well as significantly lower production and maintenance costs. Dtect enables comprehensive […]

Voith now offers Dtect — an intelligent monitoring system that provides real-time data of driveline performance and coupling status. With Dtect operators can take actions to prevent potential problems and avoid unplanned downtime. By supporting better decision making, Dtect also increases productivity and significantly lowers production and maintenance costs. Dtect enables comprehensive monitoring of a […]

The technology company Voith and the Munich-based robotics company Franka Emika have entered into a strategic partnership. Part of the strategic partnership is the establishment of a new joint venture called Voith Robotics – A Voith and Franka Emika Company. The company, with headquarters in Munich, is to become a global system supplier for robot-assisted…

The BHS AeroMaXX technology from Voith is a clever but simple and, most importantly, reliable solution that considerably increases the efficiency on the one hand and reduces oil consumption on the other hand. It was possible to reduce both the power loss and the previous lubrication and cooling oil volume by 30%. In each case, […]
