In our last blog article we compared the most commonly used damping systems in terms of their damping properties and highlighted the importance of installing such systems to protect your machines and components. Our comparison referred to dampers made of optimized synthetic polymers. In this article, we would like to present our shock absorbing units DEFORM plus®.

If a braking device fails, or in the event of an operating error, moving masses can cause significant damage upon collision or impact. To avoid this, you should use a damping system that is tailored to your application, because the removal of such damage usually costs more than the purchase of suitable shock absorbing units.

Regardless of the application for which a coupling is used – a variety of requirements must be fulfilled to ensure efficient and reliable operation of the coupling system. Undoubtedly, the coupling is a vital component of the entire propulsion line. Therefore, when designing a coupling, attention must be paid that the coupling is able to withstand the mechanical requirements, requires virtually no maintenance, operates trouble-free and, ideally, has a long service life.
