What is KTR Ident? KTR Ident is the company’s solution to the ever-increasing customer requirements regarding “product documentation” and “traceability.” KTR Ident collects all product-relevant data during the entire value-added process, prepares it in detail and issues it automatically – including all required documents such as certificates, test certificates etc. KTR Ident identifies, documents and […]
KTR on measuring displacements during operation
Generation of heat or settling effects in the machine may cause unexpectedly big shaft displacements between motor and pump respectively compressor. One result may be that the shaft coupling no longer compensates for big displacements, is damaged and fails. The consequence is a sudden standstill of the machine which will cost the user dear. As […]

KTR Systems GmbH manufacture coupling components at their headquarters in Rheine. Every year three apprentices start with their apprenticeship as CNC cutting machine operators in the fields of turning and milling technology. In May […]
New steel lamina coupling for easy assembly and disassembly
The new RIGIFLEX-N type A-H consists of two hubs, one spacer and two lamina sets which are mounted as a subassembly already at the factory. KTR developed a steel lamina coupling which is radially assembled and disassembled as a complete unit. RIGIFLEX-N type A-H has been designed in all significant features in accordance with API […]
KTR’s coupling FAQ’s- Pt. 2
This is the second part of a two-part article from KTR’s most frequently asked coupling questions. 9. How do the kinds of spider hardness of ROTEX GS differ We provide the flexible spiders in five different kinds of Shore hardness. Scale A is used for softer nylon, while scale D is used for harder nylon. […]
KTR’s frequently asked coupling questions- Pt. 1
The following is a list of frequently asked coupling questions provided by KTR. Here, we can see some of the best ways to handle the basic coupling-related application questions engineers ask most. 1. Which data do I require for selecting a coupling? It’s important to know from customer details about the kind of application, the […]
KTR developing a new servo coupling
KTR has developed a steel lamina coupling for servo drives in the higher power range. The backlash-free and torsionally rigid RADEX-NC High Torque covers speeds up to 27,500 rpm while transmitting torques up to 2,000 Nm. Main application ranges are machine tools as well as measuring and test bench technology. KTR will introduce the coupling […]
KTR’s flexible flange couplings in new sizes
KTR has extended the portfolio of highly torsionally flexible flange couplings of the BoWex-ELASTIC HE line by two sizes. The new couplings are available in different Shore hardnesses and suitable for high-performance drives of up to 5,000 kW. The BoWex-ELASTIC HE is a flange coupling with high torsional flexibility consisting of a circular elastomer. The […]
Couplings tips for specific installation requirements
Coupling variations complement specific machine dynamics and meet specific application criteria. Rigid coupling designs handle drive components already in alignment and flexible couplings compensate for post-installation misalignments. Misalignment potential, temperature, mechanical resonance and other factors make some couplings better suited for given applications. Here are some different coupling types and their most common applications. Rigid […]
Is a torque limiter a clutch?
When Coupling Tips.com spoke with KTR Engineering Services Manager, Chris Scholz we asked him about some of the common misconceptions about torque limiters and their applications. Scholz specifically mentioned clutches being brought up in torque limiter inquiries when he fields application questions. Here is what he had to say about approaching torque limiter specification for […]
