Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the crane and winch markets can now benefit from the highly modular Stromag electromagnetic spring applied HPB motor brake.
Scour outlets and weir gates of man-made reservoirs are used to regulate water levels and thus in many cases serve as flood defences, supply drinking water and process water, or are used to generate power. If the control system for these gates should fail, the communities downstream would be at risk of serious flooding.
A well produced theatre experience is capable of entrancing the audience to the point that they are fully emersed. Ironically, this means that most theatre goers fail to appreciate the engineering required to move the lights, scenery and props that contribute to a memorable performance. One general contractor ensures that its stage equipment is positioned precisely where it’s required thanks to Stromag Series 51 limit switches.

A key component of the UK Government’s net zero emissions strategy, two new nuclear reactors at Hinkley Point C are currently under construction by EDF Energy. Stromag has supported the project by delivering specialised brakes for multiple cranes at the site, including those that will lift radioactive uranium fuel rods from the very heart of the reactors.
When a major Chinese manufacturer of marine propulsion systems needed a robust clutch to integrate into a roll-on-roll-off ferry gearbox, it turned to Stromag for a compact, high performance, low maintenance solution.
