R+W - Safety first: experience at the service of safety ?

Overload protection is a particularly important requirement in large plants and complex operations. If accidental overloads lead to unplanned downtime, things quickly become costly. This is where safety couplings from R+W Antriebselemente GmbH come into play - in the worst case, these robust and wear-resistant mechanical couplings ensure safe, fast and reliable disconnection between the drive and driven components. R+W can rely on its many years of experience and know-how in dimensioning and implementation.

Safety couplings have numerous applications in the machinery sector. In the event of an overload, they ensure reliable disconnection between the motor and driven components to precisely limit the applied torque. Reliable and rapid overload protection is essential, especially for large and heavy equipment such as rolling machines.

Torque overload protection systems are used in mills, wind power plants, mining equipment, extrusion systems, shredders, and tunnel boring machines because damage to such critical components can result in significant repair costs and downtime. When it comes to torque overload protection, mechanical safety is the key.
