The solution is a combination of a
clutch and brake developed with a
design brief to withstand five
million cycles with maximum load,
in a 24/7 environment, with an
extended life cycle.
SG Transmission has the in-house
capability to work with the customer
to provide a solution which developed
the client’s previous product further.
Paul Short, technical manager at SG
Transmission, said: “This project was very
challenging but we managed to provide
an improved technical solution for TGW’s
requirements.
SG Transmission was one of only a few
suppliers in Europe that was able to cater
for the customer to solve the issue.”
SG Transmission is based in the north east
of England, where it operates a state of the
art manufacturing facility and in-house
design office.
It manufactures a wide range of
electromagnetic clutches and brakes for a
