Ringfeder Power Transmission and Gerwah are companies with a rich history in manufacturing power transmission solutions. Ringfeder was founded in 1922 in Krefeld, Germany, and has distinguished itself through innovation and quality in the design and production of vibration damping systems, couplings, and other transmission components. Their products are widely used in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and energy.
On the other hand, Gerwah, founded in 1980 also in Germany, specializes in the manufacture of backlash-free couplings and protection systems for machinery. Gerwah couplings are known for their high precision and durability, being essential in applications requiring exact and reliable movements.
In 2013, Ringfeder acquired Gerwah, consolidating their position in the global market and expanding their product range. Together, these companies continue to provide innovative and high-quality solutions in power transmission.
Their main products are:
*Elastic Couplings: Used to connect two shafts and compensate for misalignments, reducing vibrations and protecting system components.
*Rigid Couplings: Provide a fixed connection between shafts, ideal for applications requiring precise and backlash-free power transmission.
*Disc Couplings: Employ a series of thin, flexible metal discs. The discs are mounted in parallel and alternately fixed to the input and output shafts. This arrangement allows the discs to flex slightly, accommodating misalignments and efficiently absorbing torque.
*Torque Limiters: Protect equipment by automatically disconnecting the transmission in case of overload, preventing costly damage.
*Locking Elements: Used to secure components on shafts, providing strong and precise clamping without the need for keyways or slots.
