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 […]
R+W stainless steel mesh inserts help in high-temp environments
Precision elastomer insert couplings offer technical advantages in a wide variety of power transmission applications. With the rigid jaw hubs machined from solid round bar stock, the torque density can be superior to that of almost any other type of backlash free flexible coupling, depending on the stiffness of the elastomer insert which is used. […]

The finalists created and incredible mix of mechanical component technology advances. In the category of Mechanical, the finalists were: CPC – Colder Products Company Ultra-Compact LQ2 Quick Disconnects R+W Coupling Technology World’s Largest Ball-Detent […]
Couplings for jaw or impact crushing plant applications
Without processing plants for crushed stone and gravel, many large construction sites cannot operate on schedule. Jaw or impact crusher plants are facilities that break rock into crushed stone or gravel. The crushing ratio depends on the subsequent processing requirements. The output for large plants is several thousand tons of rock per hour. Machine downtime […]
R+W heavy duty safety couplings for tunneling machines
Well developed road and rail networks are an essential requirement for a sound and efficient infrastructure in any country. Therefore, the tunneling machine field within the heavy machine construction industry will have plenty of contracts in the coming years. R+W ST safety couplings have been integrated in the latest generation of tunneling machines. On […]
R+W for continuous use conveyor applications
Depending on the application, the prevailing conditions for tunneling technology are extreme temperature ranges, heavy contamination, strong vibration, and continuous operation 24/7 all year long. The construction material is transferred to conveyor belts and transported several kilometers for processing. To transfer the high levels of torque to the main and auxiliary drives of the conveyor […]
R+W shaft couplings for every application
By Sina Odenwald A coupling connects – simply put, a coupling is nothing other than a connection between two shafts. But shaft couplings can do more: · They transmit torque · They compensate for axial, lateral and angular shaft misalignment · They damp vibration · They also protect expensive equipment from overload This is explained […]
R+W on choosing a coupling for your drive system
The areas of application for couplings are wide-ranging due to the variety of requirements in drive technology. Couplings must always be specifically selected according to their application and its requirements – this is the only way to ensure secure torque transmission and, if required, protection against damage and downtime from overload. A German manufacturer of […]
Heavy duty safety couplings from R+W
R+W has recently introduced two new smaller STN series safety couplings with conical clamping hubs, to bring heavy duty industrial style overload protection into midsize applications. The two new sizes, 2 and 5, cover disengagement torques ranging from 200 to 5,000 Nm, and shaft diameters from 45 to 80mm (1.750 to 3.125-in.). Taking advantage of […]
