R+W - BELLOWS COUPLINGS
BACKLAY-FREE, TORSIONALLY RIGID AND ULTRA-PRECISE: METAL BELLOWS COUPLINGS FROM R+w
High-precision metal bellows couplings are used in all applications that require precise positioning: medical technologies, test benches, wind turbines or ultra-dynamic servo axes in machine tools, woodworking machines, manufacturing machines. packaging, etc. As a leading supplier, R+W strives to continually expand its range of metal bellows couplings for various applications in the most diverse sizes and designs.
MODE OF OPERATION: METAL BELLOWS COUPLINGS
Metal bellows couplings are particularly suitable for direct drives. The typical metal bellows is the key element of this coupling. It compensates for axial and angular misalignments for low restoring forces. The backlash-free, torsionally rigid metal bellows couplings ensure precise positioning of the drive unit and can be used in ultra-dynamic applications up to over 10,000 rpm on a finely balanced model.
ADVANTAGES OF METAL BELLOWS COUPLINGS
To be able to fully exploit their technical properties and compensate for misalignments without transmission errors, the precise assembly of metal bellows couplings is decisive. When dimensioning, factors such as operational safety, acceleration torque and resonant frequency must be taken into account. R+W meets these criteria as well as the fundamental requirements for mass inertia, ease of assembly and efficiency of metal bellows couplings. Thanks to their long lifespan and their lack of maintenance, R+W succeeds in combining profitability and high operational safety.
DIVERSITY OF METAL BELLOWS COUPLING MODELS
For small or large applications - R+W offers metal bellows couplings in the most diverse designs. Depending on the model chosen, they are capable of transmitting torques from 2 to 10,000 Nm. In addition to its range of standard products, R+W offers special tailor-made solutions, even for the most particular needs, and strives to perfect without fail. ceases his technological skills.
