ROBA-DS Shaft Couplings Certified by DNV GL for Offshore
suitable for use in extreme environmental conditions at sea. Furthermore, the ROBA-DS couplings are wear-free, i.e. they reduce the maintenance effort required to a minimum. Just as for the previous model ROBA-D, mayr power transmission has also received the type approval from the DNV GL (Det Norske Veritas und Germanic Lloyd) for this even more compact and high performance density ROBA-DS all-steel coupling up to construction size 2200. This certificate confirms the high quality and reliability of the coupling with customary safe dimensioning and design, and ensures the maximum possible operating
