2.1 Transport
WARNING
Suspended loads may fall on personnel and cause serious or fatal injury.
Only lift the turbo transmission using suitable lifting gear. The lifting gear must
correspond to safety regulations and must be approved to withstand the total
weight of the turbo transmission including attachments.
2.2 Operation
NOTICE
Operation without power transmission oil leads to immediate damage to
the turbo transmission.
Ensure that the turbo transmission is filled with power transmission oil before
the diesel engine is started or the vehicle moved.
NOTICE
Unauthorised oil grades, oil mixtures or impure oil may damage the turbo
transmission.
Any modifications, attachments oder conversions of the turbo transmission must not
be implemented without approval from Voith.

Voith Turbo | Turbo Transmission T 211 r.3 Safety
WARNING
If the vehicle starts to move while you are working on the installed turbo
transmission, you or other people may be run over.
Secure the vehicle to prevent it from rolling away accidentally. Read the
instructions provided by the vehicle manufacturer.
WARNING
Switch off the vehicle engine before working on the turbo transmission.
WARNING
The turbo transmission may reach up to 130C during use. Contact with
hot transmission sections may result in serious burns.
Allow the turbo transmission to cool before performing any work on it.
NOTICE
Serious damage to the environment can be caused if oil seeps into the
ground, or flows into a body of water or drainage system.
Make sure that the oil does not seep into the ground, or flow into a body of water

The transmission control switches automatically from one hydrodynamic circuit to an- Changing over the

Power in the turbo transmission is transmitted in the filled circuit by the mass forces of Power transfer

once the power transmission oil reaches operating temperature.
Once the traction command is issued, it may take a second before the hydrodynamic
circuits on the turbo transmission are filled.
Apart from transferring power, the oil in the turbo transmission is also used for lubri- Power transmission

Voith Turbo | Turbo Transmission T 211 r.3 Product Description
The sensors, actuators and plug connections satisfy protection class IP 67. For infor-
mation on the protection class of other electrical components, refer to the description
for the relevant component.
The diesel engine drives pump impeller 1 via the step-up gear. The mechanical en-
ergy generated by the diesel engine is converted into hydrodynamic energy in the
power transmission oil.
Adjacent turbine wheel 2 harnesses the hydrodynamic energy by decelerating and re-
directing the power transmission oil and converts it back into mechanical energy.
The torque produced in the turbine wheel depends on the volumetric flow, degree of
redirection and speed of the power transmission oil. The turbine torque reaches its
peak when the turbine is not running and decreases with increasing turbine speed.
The power consumption of the pump impeller is only slightly influenced by the respec-
tive turbine speed.
Guide wheel 3 has the task of optimising and maintaining a constant supply direction
to the pump impeller regardless of the output flow direction at the turbine wheel. The
guide wheel absorbs the torque differential between the pump impeller and the turbine
wheel and thereby achieves the torque conversion.

Voith Turbo | Turbo Transmission T 211 r.3 Product Description
The reversing unit is electronically activated and monitored by the transmission con-
trol. The various operating conditions that arise during the reversing process are mon-
itored by different sensors.
The fully automatic turbo transmission measures the input speed of the diesel engine
and transfers the corresponding output speed to the transmission output drive de-
pending on the operating conditions.
The torque of the diesel engine is transferred to the drive shaft on the turbo transmis-
sion via a torsional vibration damper.
The gear wheel on the drive shaft transfers the torque to the toothed primary shaft on
the turbo transmission via the step-up gear.
The torque resulting at the turbine wheel when the torque converter or hydrodynamic
coupling is filled is transferred to the output drive via the secondary shaft.
When the hydrodynamic brake is filled, the adjustable braking torque acts on output
drive via the rotor.
The direction of rotation of the output flange depends on the position of the sliding
shaft in the reversing unit.
Direction of rotation A:
Output direction of rotation identical to input direction of rotation
Direction of rotation B:
Output direction of rotation opposite to input direction of rotation

Voith Turbo | Turbo Transmission T 211 r.3 Packaging, Transport and Storage
Each turbo transmission is subjected to a test run prior to delivery. Either power trans-
mission oil or conservation oil (for special corrosion protection requirements) is used
here. The oil is drained after the test run. The turbo transmission is supplied without
an oil fill.
After the test run, the inside of the turbo transmission remains coated with power
transmission oil. This inner coating provides corrosion prevention for six months.
After the test run, the inside of the turbo transmission remains coated with conserva-
tion oil. This inner coating provides corrosion prevention for a year.
Packaging of the turbo transmission depends on the mode of transport and on the
storage time before installation and commissioning.
NOTICE
Exposure to humidity may corrode the turbo transmission.
Protect the turbo transmission from humidity during transport and storage.

WARNING
Suspended loads may fall on personnel and cause serious or fatal injury.
Only lift the turbo transmission using suitable lifting gear. The lifting gear must
correspond to safety regulations and must be approved to withstand the total
weight of the turbo transmission including attachments.
The lifting eye bolts on the turbo transmission are only designed to bear the total
weight of the turbo transmission without attached parts. If the total weight of the turbo
transmission increases as a result of attached parts, these lifting eye bolts can only
be used after consulting Voith.
