Logan Clutch Corp. — your North American source for TAS Schäfer

Logan Clutch Corporation is the exclusive United States master distributor for TAS Schäfer GmbH, bringing the world’s leading friction locking hub-to-shaft technology to North American industry — stocked and supported right here in Ohio. For more than six decades, TAS Schäfer has set the global standard for shrink discs and locking assemblies. Now, for OEM designers, maintenance engineers, and industrial distributors across the United States, there is a single trusted source for that technology. The appointment formalizes a natural overlap: many of the OEM customers Logan already serves rely on the very shaft-hub components TAS Schäfer builds — and now have one domestic partner for both. Whatever your application, Logan Clutch is your point of contact, from first concept through engineering, selection, and delivery.

A family-owned company in its third generation

Founded in 1961 in Wetter, Germany, and now in its third generation of family ownership, TAS Schäfer is a global leader in friction locking hub-to-shaft connections. Every shrink disc, locking assembly, flange and shaft coupling, friction spring, and adapter flange is produced exclusively in Germany on modern in-house CNC machinery, carrying the worldwide-recognized distinction of “100% Made in Germany.” Their hydraulic shrink discs are regarded as an international benchmark. Backed by its own engineering department and raw-material stock, TAS Schäfer guarantees the dimensional precision and surface finish that demanding drivetrains require — because a connection that slips can bring an entire gearbox, conveyor, or wind turbine to a standstill. TAS Schäfer technology is at work around the world: in the shrink discs inside wind turbines generating clean energy, in the locking assemblies and flange couplings that keep mining and conveying systems moving, and in friction springs and industrial buffers that safely slow moving masses to protect both people and machines. Their motto says it best — Our Quality is Your Strength.
