Coupling Selection
Start with the coupling family that matches the drive
Industrial drive systems should be screened by operating duty and shaft interface before a specific size is chosen. Start by comparing coupling construction, braking requirements and bore arrangement, then confirm the exact model against the published technical data.
The catalogue is organized by coupling family so customers can browse the current product range by construction and drive requirement instead of relying on a fixed model list.
Product Families
Browse the current coupling families
Compare the current product families by construction and drive requirement. Each family page shows the available product series first and keeps the technical selection information in clearly separated sections.
Product Family
Brake Wheel Pin Couplings
Brake-wheel pin couplings combine shaft coupling and coaxial brake-wheel functions for drive systems that require braking hardware.
Product Family
Elastic Pin Couplings
Elastic pin couplings use circumferential pins and elastic elements for flexible torque transmission in industrial shaft connections.
Product Family
Elastic Pin Gear Couplings
Elastic pin gear couplings combine a pin-mediated torque path with gear-type construction and include cylindrical- and conical-bore-related configurations.
Product Family
Elastic Sleeve Pin Couplings
Elastic sleeve pin couplings use compliant sleeves around the pins and are selected by torque, speed, shaft fit and service requirements.

Why Pin Couplings
Selection should connect the coupling to the machine, not only the model name
Defined torque path
Pin and elastic-element arrangements provide a mechanically defined connection between the driver and driven shaft.
Multiple interface options
Different product families can address standard, sleeve-pin, pin-gear, brake-wheel and bore-related requirements.
Selection by real drive data
Torque, speed, both shaft interfaces and the installation envelope should be reviewed together before a final size is chosen.
Service access matters
Inspection and maintenance access should be considered together with guards, nearby machine structure and elastic-component replacement.
Applications

Selection Workflow
Torque, speed and shaft fit belong in the same decision
Use the family range only as a first screen. The selected model must still fit operating speed, both shaft diameters, usable shaft lengths, bore style and the installation envelope around the connected machines.
Manufacturing & Inspection
Focus on the dimensions that determine fit and rotation
Project-specific material, treatment, inspection-document or certificate requirements should be included in the quotation request when they are required.
