Although it depends of the application or use and type of vehicle, we can emphasize the following characteristics

• Optimize the stopped one and the consumptions of brakes
• Increase the safety level
• Are light(slight), optimizing the capacity of load
• Do not imply major electrical consumptions
• Are silent and comfortable

Applications

The key parameters in these hydraulic systems are: the level of oil, the temperature, the rpm and other services of the vehicle like the ABS. They have an integrated  cooler or heat interchanger to support the ideal temperature of work since, in the hydraulic process of stopped, the kinetic energy transforms in heat energy. The principal current models are:

• VR 115 (E-H-HR-HV): for Mercedes Benz, Daimler AG trucks.
• VR 120 (-2, S-2, -3, -4): for intercity and coaches and for mid load trucks
• VR 123: for trucks, buses and coaches less  than 18 Ton.
• VR 133 (-2): for heavy load trucks and coaches
• VR 3250: Assembled in trucks Volvo FM and FH and in Renault VI:  Magnum, Premium, Lander y Kerax and their differences take place in the manufacturer of the vehicle or OEM (Mercedes, Renault, Volvo …) and in the nominal braking torque.

Maintenance

The principal application of the RETARDER VOITH is it of using as brake of the vehicle (‘ secondary brake ‘), allowing to retain the vehicle taking advantage of the energy that accumulates in its movement, giving place to a prolongation of the useful life of the brakes of the vehicle. The RETARDER VOITH uses both in trucks of transport and in motor-coaches and the principal brands of the vehicle that are assembled are: MERCIES BENZ, SCANIA, VOLVO, RVI, VDL, Go Hool. Of any form of installation in vehicles that it does not take it of series is a possible previous study. Contact us. Without a doubt, the maintenance of RETARDER VOITH are the periods of oil changes, which are the base of its correct functioning.
