R+W’s localized production of precision line shaft couplings is making advanced mechanical linkages more accessible and practical for engineers to use. This simplifies the design process for larger-platform motion systems, allowing for more streamlined, reliable, and efficient solutions.

Localized production of all-in-one precision line shaft couplings is on the rise, making simpler and more elegant mechanical linkages easier to obtain and more realistic to use – impacting how larger platform motion systems are designed.

R+W is currently ramping up to produce the majority of its precision bellows couplings, elastomer couplings and line shafts for the North American market in its new production facility in West Chicago, Illinois.  Significant improvements to product availability and lead times are already underway.

Ball-detent safety element couplings are used to protect industrial power transmission drivelines from damage due to torque overload. They provide a rapid safety disconnect in the event of a machine jam or crash, along with a simple mechanical reset, preventing costly downtime and repairs.

Enhance your fundamental understanding of disc coupling technology through our new whitepaper, outlining how they are constructed, why they are ideal for certain applications, and how they are configured. These designs have been refined for decades for the ultimate in zero maintenance power transmission. Learn how they can work for you!
