PT/MC Industry rallies to support employers
Whether in the plant, in the warehouse, or working remotely, managing the employees who support your customers only became more difficult for power transmission/motion control (PT/MC) employers in 2020. With almost 40% of PT/MC companies having no dedicated human resources staff, the employee recruitment and retention duties fall to someone for whom HR is not […]
KTR clamping nuts
Clamping Nuts for secure all-round clamping force With KTR clamping nuts, large screw connections can be easily pretensioned by hand (use of common dynamometric screwdrivers up to approx. 100 Nm). These clamping nuts are used as mechanical force-transmitting elements for reliable connections with high axial force and minimal power input. Features Use of common dynamometric […]

Voith AutoSet coupling with controlled slip and automatic reset
Controlling the slip and automatically resetting to improve performance and minimize production stoppages, this process-improving torque limiting coupling handles dynamic torque peaks of short duration safely and without releasing. The AutoSet reduces high torque peaks by slipping up to 180°. If the torque peak has a longer duration, the coupling will release entirely thereby limiting […]
Voith Hydrodamp
High-torque commercial vehicle engines that are optimized for consumption are more demanding on the drive train today than before. This demand results in substantially greater component wear. The advanced Voith Hydrodamp torsional vibration damper works against these conditions. It provides hydraulic damping and isolates vibrations of the drive train to protect against overloads and to […]
