Couplings

Innovation from KTR: Slip Control System!

Load-holding safety couplings fulfil an important task. They temporarily limit the load if the torque exceeds a limit and an overload can cause damage. However, the problem is that it often remains unclear which conditions have led to an overload and how often a slipping event has occurred. This is exactly where our KTR slipping […]

First wind turbine gearboxes equipped with Schaeffler cloud coupling

ZF Friedrichshafen and Schaeffler are collaborating to develop new solutions for predicting the operating life of wind turbine gearbox components based on the actual loads that occur during operation. Since September, the first wind turbine gearboxes equipped with sensors and condition monitoring systems have been supplying operating data to a cloud-to-cloud solution to enable this […]
