Precision-Couplings
PRECISE AND BACKLASH FREE: R+W PRECISION COUPLINGS High performance motion systems can place challenging demands on connecting elements like shaft couplings. Among other things, they need to withstand dynamic motion and large variations in drive torque while transferring rotation precisely. Couplings are also commonly asked to protect other system components from vibration and torque overload. Beyond this is the trend toward increasingly compact sizes and energy efficient drive components: Transmissions in particular are becoming smaller since compact machines with lighter components save money. To this end, the use of precision couplings over other traditional coupling types can be advantageous, due in part to their superior torque density. As an expert manufacturer of precision couplings, R+W can provide solutions for just about any application, harmonizing requirements for high speed and high precision in motion transfer. Companies operate their systems with assurance of process reliability and efficiency when it comes to their use of R+W precision couplings. R+W offers a wide variety of precision coupling products, ranging from off the shelf standard items to fully customized units, based on collaboration with the customer from concept to delivery.
Industrial-Couplings
MAINTENANCE-FREE AND ROBUST: INDUSTRIAL COUPLINGS FROM R+W Durable, reliable and flexible: these characteristics make industrial couplings ideal for all applications that require maximum safety and performance in the face of constant and extreme loads. Engineers and operators across a wide range of industrial sectors are aware that machine component failures and downtime drive up cost and, in the worst cases, can lead to accidents – making proper industrial coupling selection critical. For reliable transmission in heavy industry, flexible couplings must - transfer extreme torques with minimum power losses - operate free of wear even in harsh conditions - protect adjacent components from excessive stress and risk of damage R+W combines all these capabilities in impressive, innovative coupling systems for industrial machine construction. In addition to offering a broad portfolio of standard couplings from which to choose, we customize special coupling solutions on a highly frequent basis.
