GmbH DST Dauermagnet-SystemTechnik GmbH is an internationally recognized market leader in permanent magnetic couplings and systems, founded in 1991 in Neuenrade, Germany on the principle of using permanent magnets to hermetically separate input and output shafts — enabling completely leak-free, contactless torque transmission for pumps, agitators, compressors, and dosing systems handling toxic, odorous, aggressive, or high-value fluids. The company’s product portfolio spans a comprehensive range of standard and custom magnetic couplings in over 1,000 magnet configurations, overhead and bottom-mounted agitator drives, and its patented BOROHARDCAN® canister line — engineered for operation at high temperatures and pressures with outstanding chemical resistance and optional eddy-current-free materials. Part of the Echterhage Holding and supported by branch offices in the USA, China, India, Italy, UK, and France, DST serves the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, biotechnology, hydrogen, marine, petrochemical, and water management industries, and has produced magnetic couplings ranging from small precision units through to 15,000 Nm giants for large-scale industrial agitator applications.
