Wall thickness ranges from 3.0 mm on the S6 to 5.0 mm on the S50, far exceeding the minimum required for rated torque. Yokes are closed-die forged in 42CrMo4 alloy steel, CNC-machined, and selectively induction-hardened on bearing bores and spline teeth to HRC 58\u201362. Cross kits employ GCr15 bearing steel needles with polyurethane lip seals that maintain lubrication integrity for over 500 operating hours. All fasteners are Grade 10.9.

This makes them the preferred choice when peak torques exceed 1,200 Nm.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;border-radius:6px;padding:12px;margin:8px 0;\">\n<summary style=\"font-weight:bold;cursor:pointer;\">Can the S Series be paired with a torque limiter?<\/summary>\n<p style=\"margin-top:8px;\">Absolutely.
