Viscous Coupling
A viscous coupling is a mechanical device that transmits torque between rotating components using a viscous fluid. It provides smooth, progressive torque transfer as speed differences occur between the driving and driven components. As slip increases, fluid resistance rises and torque transfer increases, helping reduce shock loading and vibration compared with rigid couplings. Viscous couplings…
Viscous Fan Drive
Thermostatic fan coupling on chassis engine.
Vision Log
Recorded video stream for QA evidence.
Vision System (Liner)
Camera system observing shoes/nozzles.
Vision-Assist LED Kit
LED lighting kit improving visibility of sweep gear at night. Standard retrofit on many UK fleet upgrades.
Vision-Guided Sweeping
Sweeping guided by AI vision.
Visual Inspection Checklist
Laminated sheet listing daily walk-round checks. Mandated by many UK councils for pre-shift vehicle safety inspections.
Visual Line Tracker
Camera aid that follows pre‑marks to keep applicator on line.
Visual-Inspection Mirror
Extendable mirror enabling checks under the chassis. Allows safe inspection without crawling beneath the vehicle.
Visual-Inspection Torch
Rechargeable torch issued to each operator for pre-start checks. Guarantees consistent inspection lighting even in poor daylight.
