From the beginning, when Richard Mönninghoff founded his company for mining machinery in Bochum in 1916, he worked with drive technology. It had to be durable and reliable to withstand the extreme loads encountered when working underground. As his successors, Mönnninghoff has carried on this promise of functionality and precision. Today they are a leading technology partner on the global stage in the development of high-precision clutches, versatile linear drives, sensitive overload systems and optimised shaft couplings.
