Shaft couplings are elementary machine elements that connect two shafts rigidly, flexibly, movably and detachably. This connection transmits rotations and thus the torque between the two shafts. A coupling can also compensate for the offset of two shafts. It also allows damped torque transmission. Torque shocks and rotational irregularities can be reduced and the propagation of structure-borne noise can be interrupted. Couplings are wearing parts and incur maintenance costs. It therefore makes sense to consider what alternative solutions are available on the market in order to reduce operating costs.

In this project application, companies can submit projects in which couplings are used for torque transmission. SGF will check the submissions and – if the project is suitable for the use of a coupling from SGF – will provide a first test coupling free of charge and permanently. The examination includes an analysis of the project description and – if this is positive – a project review including technical advice from experts of the traditional company. This service is absolutely non-binding and completely free of charge for the project applicant.

At the Hannover Messe SGF will also present the latest products from the flexible couplings, drive shafts and clutches segments and present current industry solutions. You will find SGF in Hall 22, A58.
