- Axle Drives With our balancing machines for front and rear axle transmissions, the measured unbalance is corrected by drilling into the drive flanges of the transmissions (welding optional). We support you with our interdisciplinary expertise in the production of front and rear axle transmissions from the initial idea to the design stage through to series production.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about our products and services
No. Class 2 specifies up to 8 kHz versus a 2 kHz factory setting. Catalogue footnotes limit Class 1 to 4 kHz. The operating rate must also suit the surface and exposure.
The manufacturer lists a 0.3 m pigtail with an M12 connector and a 3 m integrated sensor cable with open ends. Select the correct variant; the connector drawing does not describe the open-ended cable termination.
Yes. Catalogue footnotes limit Class 1 to 4 kHz, specify IP65 and 12-bit analog conversion. Do not automatically apply the Class 2 specifications.
No. The catalogue identifies PCF1420-3/U for 1–5 V output alongside current configurations. Match the cable to head variant and required output.
Check both light-spot dimensions at the working position. The smallest spot may occur at a specific distance and is not uniform over the span.
