R+W Coupling Technology

NO RATINGS

R+W GmbH has been manufacturing high precision servo couplings, torque limiters, line shafting, and specialty mechanical linkage products since 1990, with a U.S. sales, service, and distribution center, in the Chicago area since 2001. With an aim to meet the needs of all users of precision mechanics, approximately 40 percent of products shipped from R+W's ISO 9001 certified facility in Germany are either completely custom or modified to meet specific application challenges. The remaining 60 percent of output is standard product, often available in 24 hours, and engineered to enable supply in all quantities at the lowest possible cost. As the fastest growing manufacturer of precision couplings worldwide, R+W is looking forward to taking on new design and supply challenges in the future as well.

The highlights of the product innovations from R+W address such issues as installation, performance, dimensions, and economy. The signature R+W product is the tapered press-fit bellows coupling, available in all sizes, which allows for a motor or gearbox shaft to axially plug into its driven shaft, eliminating the need for tedious access holes in coupling adapter flanges. The latest product development at R+W has been the first ever engineered thermoplastic servo coupling, which offers less than half the cost and mass of traditional servo insert couplings. More information on this new coupling is available in this issue of Design News. Further developments include floating line shafting, a patented backlash free torque limiter, backlash free linear thrust couplings, and much more.

In light of industry's demands for shorter cycle times, smaller footprints, maximum uptime, and anything that can make capital equipment more effective, R+W is constantly developing new ways to meet the productivity challenges of customers. Whether the goal is maximum performance, convenience, or economy, R+W has the ultimate coupling for any application.
