Safe and backlash-free clamping in a matter of seconds
Smaller, faster and more powerful: the demands on components in advanced transmission systems are high. This particularly applies to shaft-hub connections in modern transmission technology, for example in applications with backlash-free synchronous transmissions powered by compact servo- or multiphase motors, where positioning is critical. Conventional joints with keyways, grub screws and simple bushing do not guarantee zero backlash in such precision applications.
For these situations RINGFEDER POWER TRANSMISSION, with its RfN…
Clamps that protect the material
Original Stauff clamps symbolize quick and easy pipe, tube, hose and cable installations as well as a clean distinct pipe layout for more than five decades. Stauff designs clamp bodies with profiled inside surfaces and tension clearance, originally intended for clamping rigid pipelines in the hydraulics, and with vibration/noise reducing and impact absorbing effect towards the direction of the line. However, Stauff also supplies H-type clamp bodies ex works, which…
Especially developed for mobile hydraulics
In addition to conventional full-flow filters which usually remove only the particles larger than 3 micrometres, the strategy at Stauff is to rely on a slow but continuous, and therefore very effective filtration of the so-called bypass flow of the system using bypass filters of the BPS series. The fine, specially-developed cellulose filter medium removes even the tiniest impurities that are smaller than 1 micrometre.
Bypass filter systems were originally developed…
On site or in the workshop
The Stauff type SDMKR reversible flow device has been developed for rapid and accurate monitoring of hydraulic components and systems in mobile hydraulic systems. The design of the hydraulic tester allows combined measurement of flow, pressure, and temperature.
The device makes it possible for maintenance professionals to determine the performance of pumps, motors, valves, cylinders, and complete systems, and to ensure that these are functioning properly – directly on site or…
