Clutches for logistics & transportation - efficiency in motion

 

In the modern logistics and transportation industry, reliable drive solutions are crucial for a smooth flow of materials. Our high-quality clutches for logistics and transport systems ensure safe power transmission, protect against overload and enable precise control - in both stationary and mobile applications.

Areas of application for clutches in logistics and transportation

  • Conveyor systems & roller conveyors
    • Electromagnetic clutches for connecting and disconnecting individual areas
    • Connecting clutches to compensate for misalignments
    • Safety clutches protect in the event of blockages or malfunctions

  • Automated storage systems
    • Compact clutches for dynamic movements at high speeds

  • Automated guided vehicles (AGV)
    • Lightweight, space-saving coupling solutions for transmission and steering modules
    • Energy-efficient thanks to bistable technology

  • Loading and lifting technology
    • Clutches with overload protection for loading bridges and pallet lifters

  • Railroad technology & rail systems
    • couplings for points or generators
