SP3 metal bellows coupling with external clamping ring
The range of SP3 metal bellows couplings has been expanded to include new models. The welded design is capable of transferring torques of between 800 and 10,000 Nm. Previous models of the SP3 with external clamping ring were available for torques of between 60 and 500 Nm. The coupling can be installed via the external […]
R+W bellows couplings for spindle applications
R+W Coupling Technology (based out of Klingenberg, Germany) has announced two new products to its bellows coupling line: the SP6 elastomer and SP3 bellows coupling for spindle applications. These couplings feature an external clamping ring system, with the base hub components held to a very high level of concentricity between the two respective bores during the […]
R+W Coupling Technology at EMO
The 2017 EMO tradeshow will take place in Hannover, Germany from September 18th to 23rd. Over 2050 exhibitors from 45 countries will be showcasing their newest products and services at the world’s largest metalworking tradeshow. This year’s EMO motto – “Connecting systems for intelligent production” – conveys current topics and trends in the industry. Companies […]
Lateral mounting safety couplings for extruders
R+W has expanded its line of ST series safety couplings, with a specially designed version now available for the protection of extruding equipment. Taking advantage of the ball-detent safety element system, the driving and driven ends separate within milliseconds of a torque overload, protecting the extruder from damage and reducing expensive repairs and costly downtimes. […]
Disc couplings with integrated coolant tube for spindle drives
R+W has recently expanded its LP product line with a new disc pack coupling model. In addition to the wide range of standard designs, R+W can now supply a version with an integrated coolant tube. This offers many advantages to manufacturers of machine tools with long spindle drives. This specially designed double disc spindle coupling […]
Take a look at R+W’s new CHB belt drive housing
With an increased demand for compact mounting solutions in the automation industry, R+W has released the CHB housing for parallel assemblies of motors and actuators. These box housings are available in 5 compact sizes and 2 ratios, allowing for an easier selection process during the design phase, in addition to downsizing of motors. Each unit […]
R+W’s LPZ short spacer added to disc coupling line
In its effort to fill in and complete its flexible disc coupling offering, R+W has added a standard coupling adapter which provides customers with more configuration and connection options when selecting couplings for industrial applications. The LPZ spacer accompanies a quickly expanding product line and offers lateral misalignment capabilities in a very small package. It […]
R+W releases the STB safety coupling with bellows coupling connection
R+W brings heavy duty torque overload protection to dynamic precision applications with the new STB series safety coupling. Featuring a ball-detent safety element system, which disconnects drivelines within milliseconds of a torque overload event, this version offers precision transfer of motion and torque by using a symmetrically formed, torsionally rigid stainless steel bellows for the […]
R+W Releases STE safety coupling with elastomer connection
R+W has recently narrowed the gap between its classic precision and industrial drive safety couplings with the new STE series. Featuring the well proven technology of the ball-detent safety element system, which disconnects drivelines within milliseconds of a torque overload event, this version is more cost effective and available in smaller sizes than the standard […]
