- Key Products/Technologies
- Precision couplings encompass various models for torque transmission ranging from 0.05 Nm to 25,000 Nm. Torsionally rigid metal bellows couplings (BK, MK series) are suitable for high-speed and high-precision positioning applications. Vibration-damping and backlash-free elastomer couplings (EK series) effectively compensate for shaft misalignments through elastomer elements of varying hardness (80 ShA to 64 ShD).Precision couplings encompass various models for torque transmission ranging from 0.05 Nm to 25,000 Nm.

- Industrial couplings are robust and reliable solutions specifically designed for transmitting large torques, from 200 Nm up to 2,080,000 Nm. Heavy-duty safety couplings (ST series, up to 250,000 Nm, with the extra-large STF 20,000 model reaching 15,000-20,000 kNm) protect drive systems from overload, minimizing downtime through quick re-engagement. Torsionally rigid disc pack couplings and flexible gear couplings are also key product offerings.Industrial couplings are robust and reliable solutions specifically designed for transmitting large torques, from 200 Nm up to 2,080,000 Nm.

Torsionally rigid disc pack couplings and flexible gear couplings are also key product offerings.
- Line shafts (ZA series) transmit torques from 5 Nm to 25,000 Nm over long distances. They feature a lightweight design and low rotational inertia, ensuring precise power transmission with high torsional stiffness. Servo disc couplings (SCL series) provide high torsional stiffness and robustness within a torque range of 25 Nm to 100 Nm, serving as precise components for motion control.Line shafts (ZA series) transmit torques from 5 Nm to 25,000 Nm over long distances.
