Why is DNV certification important for coupling maintenance and not just for new parts?
Although DNV certification is often associated with new parts, it is equally crucial for maintenance. Regular maintenance carried out according to DNV guidelines ensures that the coupling maintains its stellt sicher, dass die Kupplung über ihre gesamte Lebensdauer die original safety and performance standards throughout its entire lifespan. This minimizes failure risks and significantly extends the service life of the component.
What concrete advantages does DNV-certified maintenance offer for my couplings?
The advantages are numerous: Significant reduction in system failures (can prevent downtimes in shipping costing over 100,000 euros), Extension of the service life of the coupling by up to 40%, Increase in overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) by measurable 2-3% and Reduction of maintenance costs by up to 10% through optimized processes and predictive approaches.
For which industries is DNV-certified maintenance of couplings particularly relevant?
It is particularly relevant for industries with high safety requirements and costly downtimes. This primarily includes shipbuilding and the maritime industry, offshore applications (oil & gas, wind power), but also the heavy machinery and plant engineering, mining, and energy generation, where reliability is required under extreme conditions.

ATEK Drive Solutions can assess the extent to which your existing couplings can benefit from a DNV-guided maintenance strategy to optimize their performance.
What documentation is associated with DNV-certified coupling maintenance?
DNV-certified maintenance requires a careful documentation of all inspections, measurements, replaced parts, and adjustments carried out. These protocols serve as proof of compliance and are important for traceability as well as for future maintenance planning and audits.
How is it determined how often DNV-certified maintenance for couplings needs to be performed?
Maintenance intervals are application-specific and depend on factors such as operating hours, load profile, environmental conditions (e.g., saltwater, vibration), and the specific recommendations of the manufacturer as well as DNV guidelines. ATEK Drive Solutions develops customized maintenance plans, which take these factors into consideration to achieve optimal results.

Your coupling maintenance: Safe & Certified to DNV Standard
The DNV certification is established for new components, but its relevance for ongoing maintenance is equally crucial. Neglected maintenance of couplings can lead to significant costs. An DNV-certified coupling maintenance increases the operational safety of your systems and contributes to maximizing reliability, an area where ATEK Drive Solutions provides expertise.Basics of DNV-certified coupling maintenance
Failures of couplings in shipping can cause downtimes costing over 100,000 euros. The DNV certification serves as proof of quality. It confirms that couplings have undergone rigorous testing and meet the highest safety requirements – an important basis for the coupling maintenance that is DNV-certified. For maritime applications, such as with Für maritime Anwendungen, wie bei coupling brake systems according to DNV GL, this is an established standard for safe operation.
One DNV-certified maintenance of your couplings minimizes the risk of unexpected shutdowns. Regular inspections according to DNV guidelines, as part of the certified maintenance, ensure the longevity and performance of your systems sustainably. For example, preventive maintenance can extend the service life of a coupling by up to 40%, underscoring the importance of correct installation of hydraulic couplings and reducing costs.The DNV certification in detail: More than a seal
The DNV certification, known from products like chainflex® cables (Igus), serves as an internationally recognized quality seal. It signals that products like couplings have been tested and guarantee their reliability – a key aspect for a subsequent coupling maintenance that is DNV-certified. For maritime applications, such as with In the shipbuilding industry this is often a prerequisite for the approval of components.
- International recognition as a quality seal that signals tested products and their reliability.
- Particular relevance in the shipbuilding industry, where it is often a prerequisite for the approval of components.
- Ensuring conformity of products (e.g., ROBA®-DS lamination package couplings from Mayr®) through rigorous DNV acceptance, which lays the foundation for a standardized maintenance .
