Safety Couplings

Machine torque overloads can have many different causes. Regardless of the cause, R+W safety couplings provide a fast, reliable disconnect between driving and driven components in the event of a torque spike in excess of a pre-set level, helping to prevent damage and downtime.

•Protects Drives from 1000 to 160,000 N-m
•Heavy Duty Design
•Integral Bearing, Keyway, Flange,or Conical Connection
•Compensates for Misalignment
•Precise Overload Protection

When starting any new automation project, In-Position Technologies engineers start by reviewing the key requirements to determine all necessary components needed in an application. This includes providing recommendations for any appropriate controllers, power supplies, sensors, encoders, bearings, couplings, and any other components needed to fit the application. Our engineers perform all necessary engineering assessments to make sure all components perform properly together, are within customer specifications, and do not come with unnecessary costs.

This includes:

• Payload, reach, speed, cycle time, and repeatability requirement
• Specifying the appropriate feedback device (sensors, vision system, torque sensor)
• Verifying mounting compatibility, form factor checks, etc.
• Ensuring compatibility with the current system
• Ensuring all necessary auxiliary equipment are also specified

When ordering Safety Couplings as a part of a full system, IP Tech engineers review the solution to ensure:

• All parts and fittings necessary for a complete working solution are included
• All components have been checked and verified to work together as a system
• The selected components will perform as required by the project specifications
