KADO® coupling, type EH
Reaches 51.600 Nm nominal torque and 155.000 Nm maximum torque in eighteen sizes – considerably further up than type E.

Couplings for rolling mills and steel mills
High torques, hard shocks, heat and dust. The field our design was originally developed for.
Rolling mills and steel mills
What matters here
This is the sector this firm came from. The machine element August Kauermann turned to after 1926 took on, according to the obituary of 1939, “particular importance as a shock-absorbing element for the heaviest rolling mill drives”. Little has changed in substance: where stock enters the rolls, the shock runs through the whole train.
What the drive has to do here
High torques
The size follows the nominal torque of the drive, not the shaft diameter. At the top our programme reaches 51.600 Nm nominal torque.
Damp shocks
The entry shock of the stock is the load case that governs the train. A flexible intermediate member absorbs it before it reaches the gearbox and the bearings.
Protect against overload
Where something can jam, a torque limiter caps the transmissible torque and parts the drive before anything breaks.
Which ranges come into question
KASI® torque limiter
Caps the transmissible torque at an adjustable value. Seventeen sizes from 6 to 2200 Nm slipping torque; the moment is set through the number of compression springs.

Kegelflex® coupling
Highly flexible, for drive trains in which torsional vibration has to be damped effectively. For each size the sheet gives the dynamic torsional stiffness and the angle of twist.
