RINGSPANN is expanding its offer of three-part shrink discs for high torques

In the area of shaft-hub-connections connected via friction lining, shrink discs rank among the most important drive elements for mechanical engineers and plant manufacturers. As one of the leading manufacturers of these components worldwide, RINGSPANN is therefore responding to the current demands of design engineers and developers with regular expansions of its range. Just a few days ago, additional three-part shrink discs were introduced to the successful standard series RLK 603 S. Those who stand to profit are, for example, manufacturers of drive systems for conveyor systems, stirrers, mixing plants, construction machinery and wind turbines.

RINGSPANN is implementing ready-to-install combination solutions consisting of shaft couplings and overload clutches

With international commitment and great consistency, RINGSPANN continues to pursue its development towards being a one-stop supplier of high-quality components for industrial drive technology. The company’s ability to equip machine and plant manufacturers in many industries with innovative smart solutions for the drive train is also growing. A current example of this are ready-to-install “packages” consisting of shaft couplings and overload protection, which simplify the work of designers and significantly reduce assembly work.

Push/Pull Cables from RINGSPANN RCS convince thanks to their length-preserving properties during bending

RINGSPANN RCS’ mechanical cable systems are high-quality processed products. They are designed for more than 1.0 million kinematic cycles and boast optimal gliding properties. As intrinsically safe and maintenance-free machine elements, they are proven wherever forces have to be transmitted between locally separated and stationary components, but where it must always be possible to separate the connection between input and output force by means of a flexible system. Thanks in particular to their length-preserving properties, they prove to be precise and reliable control elements even in applications with winding installation layouts.

Manufacturer RINGSPANN is once again setting standards in the field of freewheel technology

A few days ago, RINGSPANN completed the world’s largest housing freewheel in technological history for an Asian client. It is the latest member of the FH series and is used in the energy recovery system of a petrochemical plant. As a wear-free overrunning clutch it generates a maximum nominal torque of 81,850 Nm at 1,400 rpm. With this innovative new development, RINGSPANN is entering completely new dimensions in freewheel technology and is once again setting international standards.

The roller bearing design of RINGSPANN’s FZ freewheels offers space advantages in construction

With nominal torques of up to 420 Nm, RINGSPANN’s FZ series internal freewheels are suitable for the realisation of backstops, overrunning clutches and the transfer of linear reciprocating motions in incremental rotating or adjusting kinematics (indexing function). The particular attraction of these mechanical elements lies in their compact design, as they feature the same dimensions as the widespread series 62 DIN standard bearings. This makes FZ freewheels ideal when it comes to designing spatially optimised constructions in the drive units of conveyor systems, warehouse handling systems, packaging systems and food processing machinery. Increasingly, they are also being installed in hybrid drive systems.

RINGSPANN presents new drum brakes with a horizontally mounted thrustor

RINGSPANN's current industrial brakes range is almost seamless. It offers among other things a large selection of electrohydraulic drum and disc brakes that can be configured specifically for the customer. Just a few days ago the manufacturer incorporated another drum brake series for braking torques of up to 4,500 Nm into its portfolio. The highlight here is the thrustor mounted horizontally over the brake jaws. This is a particularly significant development for engineers of drive and safety systems of large lifting and conveyor systems, who will discover newfound freedom when designing the installation situation.
