In established industries there are tried and trusted solutions for most engineering requirements; however, sometimes we must look beyond the ‘standard’ to find new improvements.

Stieber Clutch is using the platform of the Hannover Messe 2015 to launch an expansion to its range of load sharing and releasable backstops. The product range, which was originally launched at Hannover in 2013, features a compact design with increased torque capacity that helps avoid over specification of gearboxes. The latest additions are self-contained designs which are suitable for both high speed and low speed rotating shafts.

Stieber has launched a new website, which is packed full of useful product information and downloads to help customers quickly find the best components for their applications. The brand, which is part of Altra Industrial Motion, is known as a global leader in the manufacture of one-way clutches and backstops.
