Operate cost-efficiently, arrive safely and protect the environment
Not just the brake is in action when trucks and buses come to a stop: When retarders by Voith are used, up to 90% of all braking operations can be achieved without any wear. Your brake is always available when the situation gets dicey.
The benefits are numerous: More comfort, reduced wear, less time spent in the shop, higher average speeds, and increased transport capabilities. And the environment will have a benefit from lower emissions. Arrive alive!
Voith Offline Retarders (peak-period retarder) work with a translation. In other words, the retarder speed is higher than the drive shaft. Offline retarders are very compact and exhibit great braking force even at low speeds.
Inline Retarder
Voith inline retarders are installed directly onto the transmission or freely to the driveline. They are connected to the vehicle universal joint shaft.
Simple, reliable, effective:
This is how the Voith Retarder works
Two blade wheels in the hydrodynamic Retarder face each other. The rotor is connected to the prop shaft of the vehicle via the Retarder input shaft, the stator to the stationary housing of the Retarder. In braking mode, there is oil between the blade wheels. The oil is accelerated by the rotor and decelerated in the stator. This also decelerates the rotor, thus braking the vehicle. The heat generated by the brakes is quickly and effectively dissipated via the vehicle cooling system – without having a negative influence on surrounding components.
We probably will not see each other often. But, when we do, you will be happy. Because no matter what needs to be done, our experts will make sure that everything is running. It starts with installation and is far from over when service and repair are finished. At the Voith retarder workshop in Crailsheim and everywhere else in the world.
