Excellent work coming out of our SG factory last week 👏

These clutch brakes are a great example of precision engineering in action — designed to engage, drive and bring rotating equipment to a controlled stop quickly and reliably.

By combining clutch and braking functions into a single unit, they help improve efficiency, reduce wear, and enhance overall machine performance.

With easy installation, the clutch brakes’ are supplied ready-assembled in a compact package, which can be foot mounted or fitted to a standard IEC motor — helping to minimise downtime and simplify integration.

Used across a wide range of industrial applications, clutch brakes play a critical role in keeping operations running smoothly and safely.

Delivering real benefits to our customers — from increased operational efficiency to reduced maintenance costs.

Permanent magnet power-off brakes deliver exceptional power density, accuracy, and durability – all within a compact footprint.

Available as standard units, tailored to specific installation requirements, or engineered as fully bespoke solutions, each brake is designed with performance at the forefront.

Key features include zero backlash, high stopping accuracy, precision holding, and high torque capabilities, achieved through advanced multi-pole designs. In fail-safe applications, these brakes automatically stop motion in the event of power loss, ensuring reliability when it matters most.

Permanent magnet brakes are the preferred choice for demanding applications, including:
· Servo motors
· Medical technology
· Robotics
· Warehouse logistics
· Access control systems
· Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs)

SG Transmission’s electromagnetic permanent magnet brakes are available across a wide range of torque options to suit even the most challenging applications.

Today, we came together in festive style for to support a fantastic cause. From snowmen to sparkles, our Christmas jumpers brought plenty of cheer to the site! 🎄 ☃️

But it’s not just about the jumpers – it’s about making a difference. We’re proud to raise money for Angel Trust, a wonderful charity based in that provides vital support within our community.

Also, a big thank you to Karen Lyons who provided a gorgeous festive food box for us. 🌟

Thanks to everyone who donated and made Christmas Jumper Day special!
