- 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
No. Sensor and controller share one stainless-steel housing. An optional USB converter and sensorTOOL provide extended configuration.
No. Its stated measurement range is −40 to +1100°C, while the factory preset is 0 to +600°C. Configure it for the application.
The page specifies up to 80°C without cooling. This is an instrument ambient limit, separate from target-temperature range.
Yes. It specifies parallel analog/digital operation and a 200 mA open-collector output. Match wiring and output configuration to the control system.
It provides an alignment aid and red/green status LEDs for alarms or system state. Advanced settings use the optional USB converter and sensorTOOL.
