Service across the entire drive lifecycle
From engineering through custom manufacturing and spare-parts supply to refurbishment, REEL supports your drive task as a manufacturer and supplier in one.

- 1:1, manufacturer-neutral
Services from a single source
REEL develops and manufactures its own couplings and at the same time supplies a trade programme from across the market. This lets us support every drive task on a manufacturer-neutral basis, from the first sizing conversation to the 1:1 replacement in the field.
-
We select and size the right coupling by torque, speed, misalignment and installation situation, with advice direct from the engineer.
The right coupling sizing determines the reliability and service life of the drive. Instead of an anonymous configurator, we work through load changes, shaft misalignment, installation space and environment in direct conversation, and derive the design, size and material, including for drive elements and belt pulleys. Because REEL develops its own couplings and also supplies a trade programme from across the market, our recommendation is manufacturer-neutral, including the 1:1 replacement of discontinued or third-party types.

When the catalogue does not fit, we design and manufacture the bespoke coupling project by project, in-house.
Special dimensions, deviating designs and unusual mounting interfaces are the rule in custom manufacturing. Design and production sit under one roof in Troisdorf, from layout through prototype to series, with short lines of communication. We make drive elements and belt pulleys in grey cast iron, ductile iron, steel, stainless steel and aluminium up to 2,400 mm in diameter. This also lets us reproduce older or third-party parts and replace them 1:1.

Wear and spare parts direct from the manufacturer, with 1:1 replacement and no need to swap the whole coupling.
We supply elastomers, pins and lamella packs to match the design; on many couplings they can be changed without dismantling the motor or machine, which keeps downtime short. Because REEL develops and manufactures its own couplings in Troisdorf, supply comes straight from the maker, including for older installations. Through the trade programme we also supply wear parts for other manufacturers and discontinued types on a 1:1 basis.

- 1:1, often without dismantling the machine

Repair, refurbishment and retrofit keep drives in service and cut the cost of downtime.
Rather than a costly replacement, we refurbish couplings and drivetrains and renew wear parts, which raises service life and availability, including for installed plant with a long history. We advise on retrofit and modernisation and engineer a suitable replacement when a type is discontinued. As a manufacturer and supplier in one, with a direct line to Troisdorf, the path from diagnosis to part stays short.

Frequently asked questions
How does REEL size the right coupling?
We choose the design and size from torque, speed, shaft misalignment and the installation situation, personally through our engineers. For critical drives we take load changes and start-up events into account and compare designs from the trade programme where useful.
Does REEL also make custom couplings?
Yes. Design and manufacturing sit under one roof in Troisdorf, from layout through prototype to series, with special dimensions and special materials such as stainless steel, ductile iron or aluminium up to 2,400 mm in diameter.
Does REEL supply spare parts for other manufacturers?
Yes. As a manufacturer we make wear parts such as elastomers and pins and offer 1:1 replacement, including for older or discontinued types and, via the trade programme, for couplings from other manufacturers.
Does REEL repair existing couplings?
We refurbish couplings and drivetrains, renew wear parts and advise on retrofit, to cut downtime and cost compared with buying new.
