Stromag engineering heritage and German drivetrain technology standards
German mechanical engineering manufacturer Stromag GmbH has designed and manufactured high-integrity couplings, braking systems, and geared cam limit switches for demanding industrial drives since 1932.
Operating from headquarters and main manufacturing facilities in Unna, Germany, the company unites specialized research engineers and drivetrain physicists.
Stromag drivetrain assemblies are deployed across steel mills, shipbuilding facilities, port terminals, and wind farms worldwide.
Throughout more than nine decades of operation, the manufacturer has demonstrated outstanding durability in mineral processing machines, marine winches, and generator packages, functioning as an integral part of Regal Rexnord.
Periflex TT highly flexible rubber-fabric couplings for heavy drivetrains
The Periflex TT flexible coupling family is engineered to transmit nominal torque from 35 to 20,500 Nm under intense shock loads and severe angular misalignments.
The elastomeric tyre featuring radial or diagonal fabric plies accommodates radial offsets up to six millimeters and angular misalignments up to four degrees without rotational backlash.
The split-tyre layout allows routine replacement of the elastic member in radial direction without shifting driving motors or coupled gearboxes.
For steel rolling lines and continuous material conveyors, couplings are provided with companion mounting flanges, integrated brake drums, and heavy-duty disc brake adaptors matching site requirements.
Periflex VN plug-in elastomeric disc couplings for marine and diesel drives
For direct shaft connection to internal combustion diesel engine flywheels, Stromag supplies Periflex VN plug-in disc couplings.
These units provide nominal torque ratings from 160 to 63,000 Nm and linear torsional stiffness behavior, enabling accurate mathematical modeling of rotational resonant frequencies while safeguarding diesel crankshafts.
Flange mounting dimensions fully comply with the international SAE J620 standard for flywheel interfaces on marine propulsion engines, pump skids, and electrical generator packages.
Specialized oil-resistant elastomer compounds tolerate fuel vapors and maintain stable elasticity across engine room temperatures reaching up to plus one hundred twenty degrees.
NFF and NFF-LS heavy-duty electromagnetic spring-applied safety brakes
Stromag NFF spring-applied electromagnetic brakes are designed for severe service environments found in marine climates, shipping docks, and steelwork crane bridges.
The brake holds safely via preloaded compression springs during de-energized periods and releases via DC coil excitation, generating dynamic torque from 20 to 10,000 Nm with IP66 sealed protection.
For heavy winch drums, gearless hoist systems, and slewing cranes, multi-face NFF-LS brakes deliver holding torque up to 44,000 Nm.
The assemblies incorporate non-contact proximity sensors to monitor friction lining wear and working air-gap dimensions, transmitting diagnostic signals directly to automated facility process controllers.
Series 51 planetary geared cam limit switches and DZ configurations
Accurate travel limitation and positioning of heavy moving machinery is achieved through Stromag Series 51 geared cam limit switches.
The core mechanism is a patented planetary gear reduction supporting broad ratios from 4.1 to 16,000 driving shaft revolutions, allowing precise contact actuation over long travel paths on crane hoisting drums.
Large sixty-millimeter diameter cam discs feature micrometer adjustment worms, while positive-opening contact blocks comply with international safety standard IEC 60947-5-1 Annex K.
Sealed IP66 housings accommodate integrated absolute optical encoders, rotary feedback potentiometers, position transmitters, and anti-condensation heating elements.
Light Cam Compact limit switches and Stromag replacement components
For compact wire rope hoists, stage equipment, and industrial quarter-turn valves, Stromag provides the Light Cam Compact limit switch family.
Combining worm and spur gear stages with a 74:1 reduction ratio delivers smooth motion and reliable self-locking positioning of profile cam discs at driving shaft velocities reaching up to four hundred revolutions per minute.
To support uninterrupted plant operations, a comprehensive selection of replacement components is maintained, including Periflex replacement tyres, friction linings, magnetic coils, auxiliary contact switches, and bridge rectifiers.
Technical component selection is verified against original machine drawings, part numbers, and manufacturer nameplate data.
