SKH Safety Coupling from R+W

SKH Safety Coupling from R+W

You are probably familiar with this situation… In high volume production environments running multiple shifts, machine downtime can lead to extremely high costs in production losses, which inevitably find their way into unit costs. There are many different...

R+W Product of the month – Metal Bellows Couplings

Metal bellows couplings – torsionally stiff and precise Metal bellows couplings are used in high precision applications where positional accuracy is of greatest importance. Some application areas include medical technology, test benches, wind turbines, and servo...

Learn about the basic design, function, and handling of R+W ball-detent torque limiters and safety couplings, including how to properly adjust the disengagement torque value, and re-engage fully disengaging...
What is a coupling and do you need one?

What is a coupling and do you need one?

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 motor shaft drives a coupling, which is then attached to the propeller...
