ATEX couplings guarantee maximum protection in potentially explosive atmospheres
Strict safety regulations apply to machine components wherever flammable gases, vapours, or dusts can create an explosive atmosphere. To meet these critical requirements, JAKOB Antriebstechnik now offers a wide range of its proven servo couplings with official ATEX certification.
ATEX refers to the marking required by European product directive 2014/34/EU and confirms that the components are suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. The certified portfolio includes metal bellows couplings, miniature couplings, and spacer couplings; elastomer couplings and safety couplings can also be supplied.
Thanks to this certification, these backlash-free shaft couplings guarantee absolutely reliable torque transmission - even under the most demanding conditions - without excessive heat generation or sparking.
The coupling specialist thus provides tailored, standards-compliant solutions for sectors such as the chemical industry, paint finishing systems, wood processing, and bulk material handling, where maximum explosion protection and system safety are top priorities.
