VOITH SmartSet Process Improving Coupling with Controlled Slip
Benefits
- Increases production uptime
- High utilization of investment
- Protects your driveline from expensive standstill costs
- Minimizes additional cost in the event of a upgrade of the driveline
- Minimizes cost of repair
- Minimizes standstill and downtime
SmartSet is a process improving coupling with controlled slip. It has the ability to slip without releasing to reduce short duration and dynamic torque peaksSmartSet improves processes and maximizes the output of the application by functioning as an adjustable peak shaver. It can reduce system transient torques with short slippages, without releasing. It can be adapted for start- ups or continuous drives that experience many short peaks.
Operation
The technology is the same as for the SafeSet coupling, but it is equipped with a SmartSet device that will give the coupling an additional slip feature. This centrifugal device is activated by the rotational speed of the intended application. This enables the coupling to slip during high transient torques. If the torque peak is of long duration in an overload situation, like a complete blockage, the SmartSet coupling can fully release as a normal SafeSet coupling and subsequently save the drive train from catastrophic failure. Torque capacity available between 10 to 10 000 kNm.
SmartSet basic principle
Normal slippage during transient start condition would be between 5-15 degree total.

TROUBLESHOOTING
| Coupling and function | Features | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| SmartSet Process improving coupling with controlled slip | Accurate release | |
| torque | Increases production uptime |
Due to precise point of release that gives higher safety margins in the production level, higher out put of the driveline and less repair of drive equipment
| Compact and flexible design| High utilization of investment
Due to optimized driveline design – no need of changes in your existing driveline and can be positioned anywhere to maximize the driveline
| Instant torque limitation in overload situations| Protects your driveline
from expensive standstill costs Due to mi nimized risk of overload and
minimized delay time in production
| Adjustable release torque| Minimizes additional cost in the event of a
upgrade
| | of the driveline
Due to adaptability to the existing driveline design and specific application requirements
| Back-lash free power transmission| Minimizes cost of repair
Due to protection against wear on other parts in the driveline
| Set torque remains constant over time| Continous production process
Due to no unwanted releases and reduced repair time
| Quick and easy resetting| Minimizes standstill and downtime
| Limitation of short peaks without release| Improves production uptime
Due to no resetting needed for short peak event
| Automatic resetting of slip angle| Lower maintenance cost
Due to no manual resetting needed
| Complete disengagement during a long peak event| Less investment cost
Due to no manual resetting needed
