R+W recently received an interesting inquiry, from an international customer in the field of automation and drive technology. They’d had problems with their previous drive in a conveyor system, whi...
Tools from R+W for underwater vehicles and robots Working underwater presents a wide variety of challenges. Devices used in this situation must be extremely robust, with high material resistance, b...
Connecting over longer distances with R+W. Precision line shaft couplings (also known as link shafts, connecting shafts or torque tubes) are used to span longer distances between rotating component...
Choosing the correct coupling for the task at hand is no easy task. It means asking the right questions before specifying a particular style. Choices abound, and more than one coupling type may be ...
What is a coupling? A coupling is a component which joins two shafts and transfers torque from a driven shaft (driving force) to a driven shaft component. An example of this is a propeller – the mo...
Engineered precision motion systems nearly all rely in one way or another on the accuracy of high-precision couplings. These couplings must deliver smooth, rotation, often at high speeds. R+W is on...
