- 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
C2 measures compressive force in static and dynamic applications. It is not specified as a tension/compression transducer.
No. Passive and integrated-amplifier versions include voltage, current or IO-Link options. The order code determines the output.
The C2 datasheet specifies IP67. Select suitable system connections and cabling.
No. TEDS is an ordering option; check the configuration code rather than assuming it is present.
The documented versions with and without an amplifier have the same external dimensions and accuracy class. The difference is a passive bridge versus an amplified output. The receiving system still needs the corresponding input type.
