Flexibility for Complex Systems
Modern plant engineering involves the creation of highly complex, custom-tailored integrated systems for a wide range of industries. The requirements placed on these systems are as diverse as the industries themselves. Yet, they all share a common need: the systems must operate reliably and safely to meet high standards of productivity and efficiency. This requires machinery, equipment, devices, components, and control technology that are functionally interconnected and optimally coordinated.
With innovative, high-performance drive, clamping, and vacuum technology, JAKOB offers solutions specifically designed to meet the unique requirements of a wide variety of systems and applications.
Versatile Drive Technology
Servo and safety couplings—backlash-free, robust, and easy to install: available in torsionally rigid, vibration-damping, or torque-limiting versions, depending on
requirements. Ideally suited for pump and compressor technology, conveyor systems, and extruder applications.
Corrosion-resistant and durable stainless steel couplings—ideally suited to the demanding requirements of systems in the pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries.
The innovative spacer couplings in the Simple-Flex series offer exceptional reliability and flexibility, making them the perfect solution for cooling tower applications.
Our ATEX-compliant couplings are designed for specific ATEX zones, ensuring safe operation in potentially explosive environments—such as paint shops, biogas plants, and the chemical or wood-processing industries.
High-performance clamping technology
Mechanical clamping nuts enable fast, simple, and secure tightening and loosening of bolted connections—without the need for special tools. They significantly reduce setup times and ensure maximum efficiency, reliability, and safety in every application.
Versatile vacuum technology
JAKOB offers high-vacuum and ultra-high-vacuum components compliant with KF, ISO-K, and CF standards—available as standard products or customized to your specific requirements. The portfolio also includes valves, gas locks, adsorption and cold traps, and a wide range of other vacuum components.
Applications range from vacuum coating, pharmaceuticals, medical technology, and food processing to semiconductor manufacturing, research, laboratories, and surface analysis.
