Elastic couplings are used to transfer torque between two shafts while absorbing shock and compensating for minor misalignments. In crane and material handling equipment drives, they help protect motors, gearboxes and bearings from dynamic stresses during starting, braking and load changes.
Thanks to the flexible intermediate element, they reduce noise and vibration and contribute to smoother operation of the entire system. They are used where quiet running, gentle power transfer and longer drive life are important.
The type of coupling is always selected according to the nature of the load, the number of cycles and the operating conditions of the specific equipment.
Gear couplings are used where high torque needs to be transmitted in a compact design while compensating for minor mounting inaccuracies. Thanks to the gearing, they allow torque transfer even with small axial or angular deviations between shafts, typically between the gearbox and the travel wheel of a crane or other drive.
A properly designed toothed clutch reduces localised overloading in the drive chain, protects bearings and gears and contributes to smoother running.
We select them according to the load, operating mode and required service life so that they are a reliable element of crane and handling technology.
Cardan shafts are used where there is a need to reliably transfer torque between two shafts that are not on the same axis - typically between a gearbox and a crane travel wheel or other driven assembly. They can compensate for mounting inaccuracies, structural deflections and dynamic loads during starting and braking.
A properly designed PTO shaft reduces shock in the drive, protects bearings and gears, and contributes to smoother operation.
We design and deliver them according to the specific operating conditions and drive layout, including the connection to other components of the crane or handling technology.
