- 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 includes WDS-40-MT19-P, WDS-80-MT33-P and WDS-130-MT56-P, with 40, 80 and 130 mm ranges. All use a potentiometer output, but their dimensions and mechanical specifications differ.
No. The listed maximum wire acceleration is approximately 60g for the 40 and 80 mm models and approximately 15g for the 130 mm model. The higher value is not a family-wide rating.
MT specifies IP50. Do not inherit IP65 or IP67 from other draw-wire families. Its operating temperature range is −40 to +85°C.
No. WDS-40-MT19 specifies typical ±1% and maximum ±2% FSO. The 80 and 130 mm models specify ±0.4% FSO. Preserve typical-versus-maximum qualification.
Electrical connection uses approximately 6 cm flying leads, with a 4.5 mm wire eyelet. Housing mounting-hole diameters vary by model, so use the corresponding drawing.
