- 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
Yes. U15 measures tensile and compressive forces and serves as a reference transducer in calibration machines and test systems.
An optional double bridge can provide one reference signal and a second signal for machine control. It is an ordering configuration.
Class 0.5 is specified from 10% to 100% of nominal force. This class is not a single error percentage.
Yes. HBK offers U15 measurement-chain calibration with an amplifier, subject to the ordered configuration and calibration service.
When TEDS is ordered on the double-bridge version, each bridge has its own identification data. Assign each amplifier input to the corresponding bridge and sensitivity instead of assuming one identification record describes both channels.
