Couplings
Flexible, stiff and torsionally stiff couplings of our own design and manufacture: the ELBO series, REELFLEX, ZARIFLEX and the REEL double-cam coupling, the clamp coupling similar to DIN 115, the flange coupling DIN 116 and the REELDISC disc coupling.

Flexible coupling · ELBO-R Torsionally flexible and damping
Transmit power, shift vibrations
Flexible couplings transmit power reliably, even where shaft misalignment cannot be avoided in general mechanical engineering. They shift critical torsional vibrations, damp operational shocks through the material damping of the flexible elements and so protect the coupled machine parts. Critical speed ranges can be passed through while resonance amplification stays limited.
26 sizes, 200 to 1,300,000 Nm
The ELBO-R flexible pin coupling is the flagship of the REEL programme. It transmits torque via elastic pins, damps shocks and compensates angular, radial and axial shaft misalignment.
- Fail-safe up to the shear torque of the metal parts
- Independent of the direction of rotation and suitable for reversing operation
- Pins and buffers replaceable without moving the motor or machine axially
- Hubs of grey cast iron (ELBO-RG) or steel (ELBO-RS)
Flange coupling · DIN 116 Standard designs, flanged and disc couplings
Firmly connected, reliably transmitted
Stiff couplings connect two aligned shaft ends and transmit torque reliably and maintenance-free: the clamp coupling similar to DIN 115, the flange coupling to DIN 116, robust, wear-free and in the steel version suitable for high speeds, and the flanged coupling, also with shrink disc. The all-steel disc coupling REELDISC is torsionally stiff: it compensates shaft misalignment and, thanks to its high power density, is considerably more powerful than flexible couplings.
Roller freewheel Sprags or rollers
Drive in one direction, free in the other
Freewheels and backstops transmit torque in one direction of rotation and release in the other. REEL supplies sprag and roller freewheels for mounted or built-in use, equivalent replacements for older models and the overhaul of existing freewheels.
Spring-loaded multi-disc brake Brakes and overload clutches
Hold safely, limit safely
Spring-loaded multi-disc brakes and overload clutches from REEL: compact in design, for wet and dry operation, as standard or as a special design to your requirements. The brakes are closed by spring force and released by pressure.
Drive element · custom design Standard and custom designs up to 1400 mm
Manufactured to suit your application
Drive elements in standard and custom designs, made of grey cast iron, nodular cast iron, steel, stainless steel and aluminium up to a diameter of 1400 mm. Materials and dimensions depend on your application.
Discs, buffers, rings and pins Spare parts, alternatives, overhaul
Keeping existing plants running economically
We supply spare and wear parts for couplings, find an alternative when a part is no longer available, and take care of inspection and overhaul.
Barring drive For demanding drives
When the standard is not enough
We develop and manufacture solutions for demanding drive applications: barring drives, drive components and custom parts to your requirements, drawing or sample.
Engineering, repair, custom manufacturing
You know the application, we know power transmission. We engineer couplings, repair them and manufacture custom components up to 1400 mm in diameter. For a specific design, send us the four key values via the contact form.
