- 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
The table lists 3000, 5000 and 7500 mm ranges, each with P potentiometer, U voltage and I current versions and a 1 m integral radial CR cable.
The linearity limit is ±0.15% FSO. The table gives ±4.5, ±7.5 and ±11.25 mm for the 3000, 5000 and 7500 mm ranges. The absolute value must not be treated as a family-wide constant.
The series table specifies IP65 and −20 to +80°C operation. Follow the selected model’s connection and installation conditions.
Approximately 6g. Maximum extension force is approximately 10 N and minimum retraction force 4 N, so account for the load imposed on the moving part.
The plastic housing provides mounting holes and grooves, and the wire ends in a clip. Select an installation position that accommodates the selected model’s full travel.
