R+W Coupling Technology

R+W Couplings has reached a whole new level in the provision of information on its vast portfolio of products, by blurring the lines between the real and virtual worlds. Represented in the UK by Drive Lines Technologies, R+W has used Augmented Reality technology, so that engineers can experience the R+W product portfolio like never before. An icon shown beside every product image in its catalogue provides a gateway to additional information.

In one way or another nearly all engineered precision motion systems rely on the accuracy of high-precision couplings. These couplings must deliver smooth, rotation, often at high speeds. R+W has a dedicated ‘White’ range of precision couplings and its products are available in the UK through Drive Lines.

Taking up the challenge for greater technical demands in modern machine design and construction, R+W has developed the unique reliable Model SK1 Safety Coupling in Stainless Steel. Ideal for clean room or wash down applications in the packaging, food processing, and medical industries.

Taking up the challenge for greater technical demands in modern machine design and construction, R+W has developed the unique reliable Models SK Safety Couplings /Torque Limiters.

Mechanical torque limiters have been employed for many years as a simple and reliable means of torque overload protection in case of machine jams and crashes. They provide sound insurance against costly machine down time resulting from broken tooling, components, etc; and not to mention replacement of expensive, long lead time components. For this purpose, ball-detent style torque limiters have proven to be a compact and very dependable form of overload protection, reacting quickly (
