About SG Transmission
SG Transmission is a manufacturer specialising in electromagnetic drive technology, based in Bishop Auckland, County Durham (UK). The company develops, produces and tests custom and standard brakes, clutches, holding magnets and combined brake-clutch modules for industrial applications. The portfolio includes permanent magnet failsafe brakes, spring-applied brakes, current-operated brakes, tooth clutches, friction- and ball-bearing clutches, slip, magnetic particle and hysteresis clutches as well as electric and permanent-electro holding magnets. Manufacturing includes the assembly of pre-assembled units, including hexagonal and extruded housings; engineering and product testing are carried out in-house. 82 percent of projects are custom solutions developed to customers' size, voltage, force or application requirements. SG Transmission was founded in 1972, is part of the British Engines Group founded in 1922 in Newcastle upon Tyne, and exports to six continents. Fields of application include fire protection and safety, energy technology, automated guided vehicles (AGV/AMR), intralogistics, medical technology, motors and drives, and robotics.
