Need a Mayr safety brake, torque limiter, shaft coupling or replacement spare part for existing industrial equipment?

METAL Mobility Group is an authorized Mayr channel for the GCC, supporting industrial operators, OEMs, engineering companies, maintenance teams and machine builders with Mayr safety brakes, torque limiters and shaft couplings for new equipment, retrofit projects, maintenance and replacement requirements.

Mayr develops safety brakes, torque limiters and shaft couplings for applications where safe stopping, load holding, overload protection, precise torque transmission and reliable mechanical drive performance are important. Its product range includes industrial brakes, elevator and stage brakes, torque limiters and backlash-free shaft couplings for a wide range of industrial applications.

Whether you are replacing a failed component, planning a plant shutdown, modernizing existing equipment or selecting components for a new machine, METAL Mobility can help assess the requirement based on the actual application.

Looking for a Mayr Brake, Torque Limiter or Coupling?

Industrial customers usually do not start with a product number.

They start with a problem:

“Our brake has failed.”

“We need a replacement torque limiter.”

“The existing coupling is damaged.”

“The original component is obsolete.”

“We need overload protection for this drive.”

“We are designing a new machine and need the correct safety brake.”

“Can you identify this Mayr component from the nameplate or photograph?”

These are the types of requirements we support.

METAL Mobility combines local GCC technical support with access to Mayr’s specialized power transmission products, helping customers identify a suitable solution for the application rather than relying only on a catalogue number.

Mayr Safety Brakes for Industrial Applications

Mayr safety brakes are designed around the fail-safe principle, applying braking force when the brake is de-energized. This makes them suitable for applications where equipment must be safely stopped or held, including situations involving power interruption.

Mayr’s safety-brake portfolio includes:

• Industrial safety brakes
• Elevator brakes
• Stage brakes
• Rail brakes
• Rotary brakes
• Caliper brakes
• Linear brakes
• Piston-rod brakes
• Spring-applied brakes
• Electromagnetic and pneumatic brake solutions

Depending on the application, Mayr safety brakes can be used for:

• Industrial machinery
• Conveyors
• Cranes and hoisting equipment
• Elevators and escalators
• Stage machinery
• Automation equipment
• Vertical axes
• Machine tools
• Railway applications
• Other safety-critical mechanical drives

When should you consider a Mayr safety brake?

A safety brake may be required where a machine needs to:

• Stop rotating equipment
• Hold a load or moving axis
• Prevent uncontrolled movement
• Provide braking during power loss
• Provide fail-safe stopping
• Protect operators, equipment or the process from uncontrolled motion

The correct brake should always be selected according to the machine’s braking torque, speed, load, duty cycle, installation arrangement and applicable safety requirements.

Mayr Torque Limiters for Overload Protection

A mechanical overload can damage a gearbox, shaft, coupling, machine or other expensive drivetrain component in seconds.

Mayr torque limiters—also known as overload clutches or torque limiting clutches—are designed to limit or interrupt torque transmission when a defined overload occurs. Mayr offers both load-holding and load-separating torque limiters for different machine requirements.

Typical applications include:

• Conveyors
• Production machinery
• Rolling mills
• Crushers and breakers
• Tunnel boring machines
• Packaging machinery
• Food-processing equipment
• Test benches
• Automation systems
• Machine tools
• Heavy-duty industrial drives

Why use a torque limiter?

A correctly selected torque limiter can help:

• Protect gearboxes from overload
• Protect shafts and couplings
• Reduce mechanical damage after blockages
• Protect machines against collisions
• Reduce unplanned downtime
• Reduce repair costs
• Improve plant availability

The important point is that torque limiter selection is application-dependent. Normal torque, peak torque, speed, inertia, overload conditions, required disengagement behaviour and reset requirements should all be considered.

Mayr Shaft Couplings for Precise Mechanical Power Transmission

Mayr also manufactures shaft couplings for applications requiring precise torque transmission and compensation of shaft misalignment.

Its current shaft-coupling portfolio includes torsionally rigid and torsionally flexible designs, including solutions intended for essentially backlash-free torque transmission. Mayr states that its shaft couplings can compensate for radial, angular and axial misalignment, depending on the product design.

Potential applications include:

• Servo drives
• Automation machinery
• Machine tools
• Test benches
• Industrial drives
• Precision machinery
• Torque measurement systems
• Heavy-duty mechanical drives

When selecting a coupling, engineers should consider:

• Transmitted torque
• Operating speed
• Shaft diameters
• Misalignment
• Torsional stiffness
• Axial/radial movement
• Inertia
• Operating environment
• Available installation space

Mayr Solutions for Existing Industrial Equipment

A significant part of the demand for safety brakes and torque limiters comes from equipment that is already operating.

You may need a component because:

• The existing brake has failed
• A torque limiter has been damaged
• A coupling element is worn
• The installed component is obsolete
• The original supplier has a long lead time
• A shutdown is approaching
• A machine is being refurbished
• The equipment is being upgraded
• The original part number is no longer known

METAL Mobility supports customers with Mayr replacement and spare-part requirements for installed equipment.

Where possible, provide the existing:

Model / part number + nameplate + photographs + dimensions + machine application

We can then review the requirement and coordinate the appropriate Mayr product or replacement route.

Mayr Spare Parts & Replacement Components

Depending on the product and application, maintenance requirements can include replacement or associated components for:

Safety Brakes

• Brake assemblies

What If You Don’t Know the Mayr Part Number?

This is a very common maintenance situation.

You may have only:

• A photograph
• An old nameplate
• A worn component
• An equipment drawing
• A machine model
• Some dimensions
• A previous purchase order
• An old spare-part reference

That is still a useful starting point.

Send us what you have.

For a brake, torque limiter or coupling identification, useful information may include:

Application

More Than Mayr Brakes: Complete Mechanical Drive System Support

A brake or torque limiter is often only one part of a complete mechanical drive.

For example:

Motor → Gearbox → Coupling → Cardan Shaft → Driven Equipment

or:

Motor → Brake → Gearbox → Coupling → Conveyor

A technical solution therefore sometimes requires more than identifying a single Mayr component.

METAL Mobility Group also supports related mechanical drive system requirements, including:

• Industrial gearboxes
• Marine gearboxes and transmissions
• Flexible couplings
• Backlash-free shaft couplings
• Cardan shafts / drive shafts
• Universal joints
• Industrial clutches
• Torque limiters
• Safety brakes
• Other drivetrain components

This broader capability allows us to look at the complete power transmission chain when required.

New Project or Breakdown? We Support Both

Whether you are a maintenance engineer looking for a replacement brake or an OEM designing a new machine, the starting point is the same:

Understand the application first.

For an existing machine, we can work from the available model, nameplate, photograph, drawing and dimensions.

For a new project, we can review power, speed, torque, load, duty cycle, shaft arrangement, braking requirements and environmental conditions.

The objective is to identify the right Mayr solution for the actual application, rather than simply matching a component by appearance.
