 Voith fluid couplings –
the solution for all start-up and clutching problems
Voith fluid couplings of the series TD, TDM-SAE and TDVFM-SAE are
start-up and damping couplings for easy installation to diesel engines.
The series TPD-SAE and TPKD-SAE additionally offers a clutching
function.

The transmission of torque in the Voith fluid
couplings occurs contact-free by the flow of the
operating fluid in the circuit – usually standard
hydraulic oil. The main components of the fluid
coupling – pump wheel (impeller) and turbine
wheel (runner) – do not touch.
The connecting dimensions of the … SAE types
comply with SAE standards.
Apart from traditional diesel engines, supercharged
diesel engines and gas engines can be started
up load-free, and heavy masses can be acceler-
ated without problems.

Customer benefits
The fluid coupling in drives with diesel or gas engines provides multiple
benefits. With just one component, it always offers you a choice of the
following functions: damping – starting – overload protection – clutching.
