Not shiftable couplings by RINGSPANN For over 60 years, RINGSPANN has been renowned as a provider of couplings, beginning with the patented L-coupling from 1956, which is still offered today as model RDA … ESO. Back then RINGSPANN was able to offer drive system engineers a compact, torsionally rigid flexible coupling based on the Oldham principle that can compensate large parallel and angular misalignments in small spaces. RINGSPANN has since expanded its coupling range and can now offer the not shiftable couplings for almost all applications. For example, the rigid Tru-Line Flange-Couplings...
