ENEMAC - Precision in drive technology since 1981
ENEMAC Gesellschaft für Energie- und Maschinentechnik mbH stands for high-quality and reliable drive technology for mechanical and plant engineering. The product portfolio comprises safety and shaft couplings for a wide range of drive concepts – from safety couplings (torque limiters) for direct and indirect drives to metal bellows, disc and elastomer couplings, as well as distance couplings for bridging large shaft distances. Depending on the application requirements, standard designs, corrosion-protected versions and series manufactured entirely from stainless steel are available.
This enables ENEMAC to cover a wide range of drive technology requirements – from overload protection and precise torque transmission to vibration damping and compensation of shaft misalignment. ENEMAC coupling solutions are used, among other applications, in the food and beverage industry, filling and packaging technology, the process industry, automation and other areas of mechanical and plant engineering.
For fast and reliable product selection, ENEMAC provides not only a product compass but also a torque calculator and comprehensive CAD data.

Product compass
The ENEMAC product compass (product finder) helps you to easily find the right torque limiter or shaft coupling for your application. Relevant selection criteria such as nominal torque, bore diameter, shaft connection or required compensation element make it easier to find the right product. You can download further technical information such as dimensional drawings and CADs via a list of results configured for you under ‘details’ or send us a specified enquiry directly. We look forward to your visit!

Torque limiters
Mechanical overload protection to minimise costly repairs and machine downtime
ENEMAC safety couplings, also known as torque limiters, are mechanical components that actively protect drives from overload. They prevent malfunctions—such as blockages or foreign objects—from causing damage to gearboxes, motors, or downstream drive components. At the same time, they ensure backlash-free torque transmission, compensate for misalignment, and, depending on the coupling type, can also dampen vibrations.
Today's automated production lines must operate continuously with maximum process stability. Every unplanned downtime causes costs – especially in industries with high plant availability and cycle-critical processes. Safety couplings separate the drive and output sides within milliseconds when a predefined torque is exceeded. To do this, a spring presses balls into calottes in a form-fitting manner. If the set limit torque is exceeded, the balls overcome the spring force and the connection is released. Power transmission stops immediately and rotating masses run freely. Once the fault has been rectified, the elements automatically re-engage – with ENEMAC, this is achieved with precise 360° synchronous engagement. The purely mechanical mode of operation ensures maximum operational reliability, even in the event of power failures or control errors and effectively protects drives and gearboxes from consequential damage.
ENEMAC safety couplings for direct or indirect drives reliably secure torques from 0.3 Nm to 23,000 Nm and can be used at temperatures ranging from a minimum of -30 °C to a maximum of 200 °C. The shaft connection is made by means of clamping hubs, keyways, or conical bushings.
Safety couplings protect drives in filling and packaging systems in the food and beverage industry, in general mechanical and plant engineering, in special machine construction, in test benches, and in the process industry.
Shaft couplings
Compensating couplings for precise and backlash-free torque transmission from drive shaft to output shaft
ENEMAC shaft couplings are backlash-free compensating couplings for the precise, angle-accurate transmission of torques from 0.4 Nm to 65,000 Nm. Depending on the series, they can be used at speeds of up to 57,000 rpm and temperatures of up to 350°C. Thanks to the wide variety of designs, ENEMAC offers the technically appropriate coupling design for almost every machine – from high-precision axes in machine tool construction to automation, packaging technology, measurement and testing technology, pump systems, energy systems, steel and hot operating applications.
Metal bellows couplings from ENEMAC are completely backlash-free, have high torsional stiffness, extremely low restoring forces, and are therefore particularly suitable for precise positioning tasks and high-load changes in direction of rotation. They enable uniform and controllable power transmission.
Elastomer couplings dampen vibrations and shocks and can effectively prevent resonance from reaching the drive. They are electrically insulating and can be precisely adapted to the required machine characteristics using different Shore hardnesses. They are economical to use, robust, and easy to install.
Disc couplings transmit high torques in a compact design, offer high torsional stiffness, are maintenance-free, extremely durable, and ideal for heavy-duty applications in mining and foundries.
Since 1981, ENEMAC has stood for technical coupling solutions with high operational reliability, long service life, and absolutely reliable repeatability. Every designer thus receives a solution that is precisely tailored to the actual load and technically sound—no compromise.
Distance couplings
Compensating couplings for bridging large centre distances
ENEMAC distance couplings are shaft couplings for bridging large centre distances and compensating for shaft misalignment. Distances of up to 6 m can be bridged using variable-length intermediate tubes made of high-strength aluminium, which are adapted to customer requirements. ENEMAC spacer couplings can be used as backlash-free connecting, cardan or synchronising shafts at temperatures of up to 300 °C and cover a torque range of 10 Nm - 1,600 Nm.
Stainless steel couplings
Torque limiters and shaft couplings made of stainless steel in hygienic design
ENEMAC stainless steel couplings comply with the strict hygiene regulations of the food and pharmaceutical industries and can also be used in the field of medical technology and in clean rooms. Stainless steels A2 and A4 are used in the manufacture of torque limiters, shaft couplings and spacer couplings in hygienic design, guaranteeing the highest quality for demanding applications.
Clamping technology
Force-enhanced clamping of tool and workpiece.
ENEMAC clamping technology guarantees safe and force-enhanced clamping of tools and workpieces with a nominal clamping force of up to 350 kN. With various force amplifier systems and hydromechanical spring clamping systems, ENEMAC clamping technology increases both operational safety and efficiency in your production and also shortens set-up and production times. ENEMAC clamping elements can be used as original equipment in machines or retrofitted.
