Design Considerations

Voss specializes and takes pride in providing products that meet your exact specifications or requirements. There are hundreds of design possibilities when you consider product material, hardware, band and retainer configuration, etc. In order to be able to successfully optimize your application, certain design parameters need to be known.

We encourage you to read the “V-Retainer Coupling Design Guidelines for Critical Aerospace/Defense Applications ” written by our Vice President of Engineering: Mr. John F. Fritskey (by visiting the link below).

The pages listed below will give you some idea of your options. Additionally a Design Specification Form is also provided
to be submitted with your inquiries
