Precision in Measurement and Test Stand Technology
In the fields of test stand, measurement, and sensor technology, the highest levels of accuracy, performance, and flexibility are essential. Requirements for components and processes are becoming increasingly complex and demanding.
Custom-made solutions are part of our standard offering
Drawing on years of expertise, we develop and supply products—starting from a batch size of just one—that are optimally tailored to a wide range of challenges, ensuring precise testing and measurement results.
Backlash-free Torque Transmission and Misalignment Compensation in Test Stands
Safety couplings reliably protect sensitive measuring units—such as torque sensors or test specimens—from overloads, preventing costly damage and reducing the need for repairs and downtime. Thanks to their high torsional rigidity, torsionally stiff metal bellows
couplings ensure precise angular transmission and are ideally suited for connection to torque transducers or encoders. Vibration-damping elastomer couplings, available in various Shore hardness grades, allow for flexible adjustment of damping characteristics.
JAKOB offers high-speed versions of servo, safety, and distance couplings, designed for maximum rotational speeds, excellent smooth running, and minimal mass inertia. Precision balancing and innovative solutions, such as the Simple-Flex coupling, ensure peak performance in every application.
Clamping Force Measurement
The HMD series of hydraulic force transducers are robust instruments for measuring axial compressive forces; they provide a simple, cost-effective way to safely measure static and dynamic forces across a wide range of mechanical engineering applications.
Vacuum Technology for Precise Analysis
In ultra-high vacuum applications, JAKOB zeolite traps protect sensitive measuring instruments from vacuum pump oil vapors, thereby ensuring both precise analysis results and a long service life for the equipment.
