The better the coupling, the better the drive

Machine tools have to meet with many differing demands – speed, accuracy, flexibility, reliability, high efficiency and optimum profitability over their lifetime. KTR couplings are as diverse as the machine tools they are being fitted to. We do not just look at the coupling we are supplying but look at the drive system as a whole, in order to specify the correct coupling.

Stiffness and flexibility at the same time

Thanks to our knowledge of the machine tool industry we have managed to set new standards for servo drives: by designing the vibration-damping backlash-free jaw coupling ROTEX® GS, the torsionally stiff lamina coupling RADEX®-NC and the torsionally stiff, flexible metal bellow-type coupling TOOLFLEX®. Also innovative products like the two-part and axial plug-in TOOLFLEX® PI, the compact TOOLFLEX® CF and the safety system KTR-SI Compact combined with ROTEX® GS or TOOLFLEX® are KTR couplings that meet with the growing demands of the machine tool industry.

Short cycle times, long service life

All KTR products for servo motors have similar characteristics. They are permanently backlash-free, maintenance-free and have a long service life. The majority of manufacturers of machine tools use KTR’s ROTEX® GS as an axially plug-in, flexible and backlash-free coupling. Many well-known automobile manufacturers specify KTR couplings for their production machines and large manufacturers of motors recommend KTR for their positioning drives, as quality is a pre- requisite for them.

We want to satisfy your needs

KTR not only puts a lot of effort into delivering products to you, we also spend a lot of time and energy into our advisory service. If high demands are required of the machine tools, the correct selection of the machine components is also particularly important. That is why KTR’s application engineers are always pleased to support you with the selection of the best coupling system for your individual application.
