RELIABLE | PRECISE | COMPACT PRECISION COUPLINGS EXACT AND BACKLASH FREE FOR PRECISION SERVO AND STEPPER DRIVE APPLICATIONS.

ABOVE ALL R+W IS: THE PERFECT COUPLING. When R+W Antriebselemente GmbH was first established in 1990 in Klingenberg, Germany, there were three people on board. The head office is still there, but we are now more than 170 people, with subsidiaries in the USA, China, Italy, Singapore, France and Slovakia, and are partnered with over 60 well established distributors in more than 40 countries throughout the world. Many developments have lead to this success, but most importantly it was brought about by our endless search for the best possible coupling solutions as well as the high esteem in which...

SIZING EINBAUHINWEISE ACCORDING TO TORQUE Couplings are normally sized for the highest torque to be regularly transmitted. The peak torque of the application should not exceed the rated torque of the coupling. The following calculation provides an approximation of the minimum required coupling size, and allows for the maximum rated speed and misalignment to exist in the application: The torsional natural frequency of the coupling must be significantly higher or lower than that of the equipment. For the mechanical substitution model the two mass system applies. In practice the following applies:...
