The critical nature of medical applications calls for some of the most demanding requirements within electromagnetic brakes. From operating tables, to surgical robots and treatment machines, SG Transmission offers standard and customised electromagnetic solutions to meet the most stringent demands for a variety of high quality and specialist medical equipment.

Our brake and electromagnet combinations offer accurate, precise and durable performance. The spring applied brake offers a ready to use application with pre-set air gap that is best suited to applications where backlash capability is not required. The permanent magnet brake can be mounted in any orientation and due to its precision and zero backlash capability, is ideally suited to high safety applications such as those in the medical sector.
