Shaft Couplings

For over 60 years, RINGSPANN has been renowned as a provider for couplings, beginning with the parented L-coupling from 1956, which is still offered today as model RDA … EDO. RINGSPANN has since expanded its coupling range and now offer the not shiftable couplings for almost all applications. For example, the rigif Tru-Line Flange-Couplings of the RFK … TBO model with a special Shaft-Hub-Connection allows for freelt hanging motor gear units with a torque support to be coupled to conveyor belt pulleys without fretting corrosion while accommodating significant rotating bending moment stress.

RINGSPANN offers equally suitable couplings for applications where it is critical for torque to be transmitted through a torsionally rigid connection without backlash while still being able to accommodate for shaft misalignment.
