RINGFEDER

Ringfeder Power Transmission and Gerwah are well established names in the field of power transmission solutions. Ringfeder, created in 1922 in Krefeld, Germany, is renowned for its innovation and quality in designing and manufacturing vibration damping systems, couplings, and other transmission components. Their products serve a wide range of industries, such as automotive, aerospace, and energy.

In contrast, Gerwah, founded in 1980 in Germany, focuses on producing backlash-free couplings and machinery protection systems. Gerwah’s couplings are praised for their precision and durability, making them crucial for applications that demand exact and reliable movements.

In 2013, Ringfeder acquired Gerwah, strengthening their global market presence and broadening their product offerings. The combined expertise of these companies continues to drive the development of innovative and high-quality power transmission solutions.

Their primary products include:

• Elastic Couplings: Designed to connect two shafts while accommodating misalignments, reducing vibrations, and protecting system components.
• Rigid Couplings: Provide a fixed connection between shafts, suitable for applications needing precise and backlash-free power transmission.
• Disc Couplings: Utilize a series of thin, flexible metal discs mounted in parallel, alternately fixed to the input and output shafts. This design allows the discs to flex slightly, managing misalignments and efficiently absorbing torque.
• Torque Limiters: Protect equipment by automatically disengaging the transmission in the event of an overload, thus preventing costly damage.
• Locking Elements: Secure components on shafts, offering robust and precise clamping without the need for keyways or slots.
