FOR THIS COMPANY

With a philosophy of meeting customer requirements from conception to production, R+W has supplied many thousands of custom coupling designs, creating a wealth of knowledge about the technical requirements associated with a wide variety of industries and applications. Constant new product development takes place in the house, in addition to intensive collaboration with universities and technical schools, keeping R+W at the forefront of technical development and product innovation in its field. Over the past 25 years, this has resulted in a position of market leadership for metal bellows couplings, with global availability for all of its precision couplings and torque limiters.

R+W understands custom coupling applications. The company recently designed the world’s largest ball-detent style safety coupling to be installed on a pair of six megawatt motors for a wind energy testing application. This one of a kind torque limiter has a diameter of 4 meters and weighed in at 21.5 metric tons. 36 high capacity modules were necessary to provide sufficient holding force for the 20,000,000 Nm disengagement torque requested by the customer. With engineering teams in Germany and the USA, R+W is prepared to take on custom requests quickly and build the ideal coupling solution for any application.

Engineering and manufacturing of precision flexible shaft couplings for motion control and power transmission applications, with a wide variety of designs for torsional rigidity, vibration damping, and overload protection. Whether for micro motors or 10-megawatt drives, couplings are customizable for most applications, while many standard models ship from stock. Configurable CAD models are available in a large number of file formats online.
