Pumps and compressors make up about one-third of energy consumption in industry. Consequently, the market is big with the portfolio ranging from miniature laboratory pumps to large-scale plants for petrochemistry. An essential function of the coupling is the ability to compensate for displacements in the drive train. That is why double-cardanic couplings are often used. […]
KTR and targeting company standards and special ambient conditions

Split-Hub Couplings: advantages and applications
As a manufacturer of couplings with over 60 years of innovation, KTR is always seeking to improve on existing designs. Split-hub designs, such as the machined steel type ROTEX A-H, have been a part of KTR’s offering for decades. However, with industry demands for new efficiencies and cost savings ever-increasing, KTR has expanded the split-hub […]
KTR: Assembly and disassembly without dismounting driving and driven side
The REVOLEX KX-D SPLIT consists of hub bodies separated into two halves. This production procedure allows for radial assembly and disassembly of the torsionally flexible pin & bush coupling without dismounting driving and driven side. The coupling is screwed via block assembly. Material: steel Sizes: 150 to 355 Torques (TKN): 25,000 to 350,000 Nm Radial […]
KTR couplings, brakes, and coolers for wind power technology
Even if the wind power industry is a growth sector now as before, the manufacturers are under fierce competition and cost pressure. The index of “Cost of energy“ is decisive, i. e. the ratio of operating expenses to energy yield. This calculation includes the level of efficiency, availability and maintenance effort. This means for the […]
KTR on preventing torsional vibrations
Gensets take over a vital function as emergency power generators in infrastructure facilities such as hospitals and computer centers, whereas gensets often form the only technology for power generation in areas with no electricity grid. From the point of view of the design engineer of these plants coupling the I. C.-engine to a generator is […]
KTR for marine environment applications
The sustained concentration in shipbuilding resulted in establishing very large shipyards acting internationally. Apart from that there are highly specialized suppliers for individual markets such as work boats, leisure boats and yachts. Freight rates, international trade and the oil price are central parameters for the economic situation of the overall industry which has a significant […]
