- 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
C5 is a reference transducer for compressive forces in the MN range. Select the corresponding nominal capacity; do not infer tensile-force capability.
No. ISO 376 Class 00 applies over 40–100% of nominal force, with Class 0.5 over 20–40%. Classification is guaranteed only with an ISO 376 calibration certificate and is not a zero-error claim.
It is a VDI/VDE 2638 classification, separate from ISO 376 classification. Preserve each standard and applicable force interval rather than combining them into one accuracy percentage.
No. They are ordering options, alongside TEDS. Associate each option with its configuration code and required amplifier channels.
The documented transducer has 2.5 mV/V nominal sensitivity and a six-wire connection. Use suitable strain-gauge electronics; mV/V is not an amplified industrial-voltage signal.
