The range also includes general , flame and acid-proof worksuits , as well as gloves , safety shoes and gumboots . The company ’ s welding related products encompass source extraction , PPE , general filtration and extraction hoods and a wide range of inverter welders , electrodes , welding wire and accessories .
BMG ’ s comprehensive product range also includes bearings , seals and gaskets ; power transmission ; hydraulics and pneumatics ; fluid technology and filtration ; drives , motors and controllers ; materials handling ; fasteners and tools .
BMG ’ s two branches in Zambia – in Lusaka and on the Copperbelt in Kitwe – offer a 24 / 7 support service for the full product range , through technically competent workshops and field service teams . Services include mobile breakdown , repair and maintenance support , to ensure production plants are up and running as quickly as possible following a breakdown .
According to BMG specialists , the introduction of a structured maintenance management programme - which can be implemented in-house , or partially outsourced to a professional organisation - is critical to maximising production efficiencies . Conditioning monitoring identifies lubrication problems , misalignment and vibration troubles and also helps in identifying the causes of the damage , so that equipment can be fixed before further damage occurs . This means reduced downtime , efficient production and substantial cost savings .
The BMG branch in Lusaka has recently completed a new showroom that effectively displays the company ’ s extensive product range .

The power clamping nut MDA from JAKOB Antriebstechnik
The current model of the mechanical
power clamping nut MDA combines the simplest , manual operation at low tightening torques with the highest clamping forces . The interior can multiply the manual tightening torque by means of a robust gear transmission with special slide bearing . The self-locking mechanism guarantees maximum operational safety . A long life is ensured by the material design made of tempered steel with a corrosion-protective surface coating . Special endurance tests confirm these expectations . For example , the power clamping nuts were subjected to continuous load on a special test bench up to 10,000 load cycles .
The power clamping nuts MDA are available for thread sizes from M12 to M48 and can apply up to 180kN clamping force .
The fields of application of the MDA cover all fields of mechanical engineering in which high clamping are required . For example , clamping of pressing and punching tools or workpiece clamping during machining . The MDA power clamping nut enables safer , more economical and more exact clamping . Under normal operating conditions , it is maintenance-free and can be used up to 200 ° C . In special versions , it can be used even up to 400 ° C .
