R+W expands its manufacturing base in the U.S.
West Chicago, IL – R+W, a global brand of precision couplings for motion control and automation systems, has just opened a new US‐based manufacturing facility with expanded machining capabilities and assembly operations for its precision couplings and line shafts. The company relocated into the 30,000-square-foot facility in West Chicago, IL in late 2022, and is […]
R+W production plant in Slovakia
The component manufacturing plant in Nizna, Slovakia, was renamed at the end of 2021 to be even more closely affiliated with R+W, and as of 15 August 2022, an additional managing director was recruited to strengthen the operations. Certain components for the precision couplings manufactured by German company, R+W, are supplied by the production plant […]
R+W miniature bellows couplings
Where torques as low as 0.05 Nm are to be transmitted and shaft diameters as small as 1mm are to be connected, miniature bellows couplings (MK series) from R+W are the right choice. As a result of the trend toward miniaturization – for example, in medical technology, laboratory equipment, and micro-pumps – this product plays […]
Classic coupling models with sensor technology update from R+W
Recording measurement data, with high precision and directly in the driveline, is now easy with R+W’s own integrated sensor technology built into proven couplings designs. With ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BY R+W, measurement data is recorded directly from the drivetrain in almost real-time. This was previously very difficult to achieve in drive technology because of the rotating […]
Flexible disc and bellows couplings from R+W
For the past 30 years or more, designers of highly dynamic servo drive systems have been turning to bellows couplings to optimize the stiffness, inertia, and smoothness of rotation in their coupling applications. When it comes to torsionally rigid couplings the stainless steel bellows wins in all three categories. Take for example high-speed camming of […]
