THE NEW ERA
OF DRIVE TECHNOLOGY
Welcome to the world of R+W – a world of progress
Smart and secure into the future. This is now possible with the intelligent coupling from R+W Antriebselemente – our innovative answer to the modern requirements of digitalization, automation and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
As the technical leader and specialist in metal bellows couplings, it was already a given that with the shift to Industry 4.0, and the increasing value of data and its bottom line impact, we don’t just want to keep up, but rather to create change and to work proactively to make it a reality. Until now real-time data collection in drive technology was especially challenging, with rotating powertrains difficult to access with wiring and instrumentation. But with the R+W intelligent coupling this is a problem of the past!
THE INTELLIGENT MEASUREMENT CHAIN
SMART DRIVE,
MANY ADVANTAGES.
01
Capable of integrating into
existing applications
No additional assembly space or auxiliary construction needed. Previously installed couplings receive a light-weight intelligent retrofitting.
02
Clarity where you need it
Measurement data recorded directly in the drivetrain.
03
High-precision measurements
Torque, speed, acceleration, rotation and spatial position.
04
Comprehensive data
A range of scalable diagram types track the detailed history of measured quantities.
05
Time-dependent measured
quantities that can be aggregated
Improved evaluation and understanding of dynamic behaviour in the rotating drivetrain.

Intelligent Safety Couplings enhance the product quality of extrusion systems
This coupling, which includes built-in sensor technology, offers the ability to collect load spectrum data (data on the load of an extrusion screw) for a given timeframe. Based on the determined torque and speed, processed materials can be monitored more closely, and the quality of the final product can be improved significantly.
