Through the use of a qualified and motivated team as well as a flexible machine park, we are always able to meet customer requirements reliably and at short notice. The close cooperation with our customers is always a new challenge to us, which we approach competently and innovatively.

For new developments Kempf uses state-of-the-art computer-assisted calculation and design methods. The finite element analysis as well as the vibration simulation are to be mentioned. With these methods it is possible to optimize components already in the design phase for the customer-specific application. The calculation methods used in our company are also available as a service if necessary. Joint shafts require high precision and operational reliability.

We ensure the reliability of our products through precise manufacture and constant quality control. Kempf joint shafts are characterized by reliability, durability and low maintenance.
