06.03.2025 Permanent wear monitoring for drum couplings

Advancing digitalization is opening up new, innovative approaches to increasing operational safety and efficiency in crane technology. A central focus here is on the continuous monitoring of wear on rope drum joint connections, which is superior to conventional inspection methods in many respects. The new Malmedie LifeMonitor reduces crane downtimes thanks to early wear detection and increases planning reliability with precise real-time data.

03.02.2025 Project presentation: Drive unit for floor pull-in press

In our reference project for the customer NOBAG Nobs Engineering AG, we supplied the drive train including several special bevel gearboxes for a combined floor press. Together with our customer, we realised the planning, design, production and assembly. Our competent team of technicians and engineers supported the entire process - from parts and production planning through to the finished end product.

09.01.2025 New overview-PDF: Couplings for heavy industry

In unserer neuen PDF-Broschüre mit dem Titel „Kupplungen für die Schwerindustrie“ finden Sie alle relevanten Kupplungsarten, die speziell für Heavy Duty Anwendungen entwickelt wurden. Die Übersicht deckt eine Vielzahl von Kupplungstypen und ergänzend auch mechanischen bzw. hydraulische Reibschlussverbindungen ab, die sich durch ihre Robustheit und Leistungsfähigkeit auszeichnen. Dabei sind alle wichtigsten technischen Daten auf einem Blick ersichtlich.

16.09.2024 Project presentation: Assembly for production machine

For decades, we have specialised in the planning, design, manufacture and assembly of drive elements and assemblies for mechanical and plant engineering. In close co-operation with our end customers, we focus on small series with a high level of vertical integration. Our experienced team of technicians and engineers provides expert support from parts and production planning through to the finished product. Find out more about our services in our reference project for a market-leading machine manufacturer of hygiene products.

11.09.2024 Shrink discs for the food and pharmaceutical industries

In the food and pharmaceutical industries, high reliability and easy assembly and maintenance play an important role in the development of pump drives or agitators. The shrink discs or shaft couplings from our partner TAS Schäfer are ideal for reliable power transmission. Stainless steel versions are often used to increase the service life and reliability of the connection.

19.04.2024 Project presentation: Development of a special gearbox

Regardless of whether optimisation or new development is required. We work together with our customers to develop customised drive concepts. Supported by modern CAD systems, we plan, analyse and simulate the ideal drive solution at the highest level. In this project, our design team took on the development of a special gearbox for the maintenance of large compressors.

12.04.2024 Stainless steel safety couplings and friction torque limiters

In addition to reliable protection against overload and system failure, maintaining the operational capability of all drive elements also plays an important role, particularly in the most difficult environmental conditions of all drive elements plays an important role.

12.02.2024 Acoustic measuring device for ideal belt tension

With its highly sensitive sensor, the compact LüCo TensionPro2 measuring device enables non-contact, acoustic measurement of the belt tension. The professional measuring device enables precise adjustment of the belt tension. This increases the efficiency of the drive and reduces energy costs at the same time.

26.01.2024 New motor base for optimum belt tension for motors up to 200 kW

To optimise belt drives with larger electric motors, we can now offer the new MW 10 motor base series in addition to the MW 8 series. The maintenance-free motor bases ensure ideal belt tension and even torque transmission. In addition, oscillations, vibrations and load peaks are absorbed and belt wear is minimised.

05.12.2023 We train specialists

Fabian (19) and Jan (16) have been the new trainees in our company since September. Three months after starting their training, both have settled into their everyday working lives and are actively supporting our teams in administration and production. We are once again looking for committed and motivated young people for an apprenticeship at FLOHR in the coming year.

27.11.2023 Case Study for modernisation of eRTG-cranes

Old installations often cause problems that outweigh the solutions they offer. The case study of our partner Johannes Hübner Giessen demonstrates how a fault-prone encoder system with a multitude of individual components can be transformed into a safe and low-maintenance system solution.

24.10.2023 Energy-efficient safety coupling for container terminals

With increasingly rising energy costs, it is important for terminal operators to reduce energy consumption and thus save operating costs. The new Evolution Torque safety coupling from our partner Malmedie is designed for the Snag Overload System SOS and helps operators to achieve this goal.

19.10.2023 Special solutions for shaft-hub connections

We are able to offer and supply a comprehensive range of clamping sets, shrink discs, mounting flanges, flange couplings and shaft couplings. We can also realise individual special solutions with short delivery times. State-of-the-art CNC production technology guarantees high-quality products.

19.07.2023 8 questions for the right choice of pneumatic grippers

The array of gripper choices in the automotive, pharmaceutical, electronics and consumer-goods industries for pick-and-place automation systems are numerous. The many gripper styles – all of which have their own size, method of operation, and required level of human interaction – is daunting. This leads to uninformed selections that fail to meet the needs of your application. It’s critical that you consider all variables before choosing your pneumatic gripper.

05.06.2023 New: Globoidal and parallel stepping gears

With the new globoidal and parallel indexing gearboxes, we have expanded our range of gearboxes for applications such as conveyor and slewing units, the automotive, food, packaging and consumer goods industries. These gearboxes are designed to support indexing applications that focus on starting and stopping a piece of equipment at precise intervals at set stations.
