mayr Safety Brakes, Torque Limiters & Shaft Couplings
mayr power transmission develops precision mechanical drive components designed to protect people, machinery and production processes. Its portfolio includes fail-safe safety brakes, overload-protection torque limiters, backlash-free shaft couplings, servo and robotic braking solutions, intelligent brake-monitoring technology and electromagnetic drive components for demanding industrial applications.
More Than 125 Years of Drive-Technology Experience
Founded in 1897 and headquartered in Mauerstetten, Germany, mayr power transmission is a family-owned manufacturer specializing in drive and safety technologies. The company's products are used throughout mechanical engineering and automation wherever machines require reliable braking, overload protection, precise torque transmission or controlled connection between drive components.
Machine Protection
Torque limiters protect drive trains against jams, collisions and other overload conditions by limiting or disconnecting torque before expensive mechanical damage occurs.
Reliable Load Holding
Spring-applied safety brakes secure axes and loads when power is removed, supporting applications ranging from industrial machinery to robotics, vertical axes and automated systems.
Precision Torque Transmission
Backlash-free shaft couplings connect motors, gearboxes, actuators and driven equipment while compensating for shaft misalignment and maintaining precise torque transmission.
Explore mayr Drive-Safety & Power-Transmission Products
Use these product areas as a starting point when designing overload protection, fail-safe braking, servo systems, robotic joints, drive trains and precision motion equipment.
Safety Brakes
mayr safety brakes operate according to the fail-safe principle: spring force applies the brake when power is removed. The portfolio includes industrial, servo, linear, elevator, stage and specialized braking solutions for securing loads and machine motion.
Explore mayr Safety Brakes →Torque Limiters
mayr torque limiters provide mechanical overload protection by limiting or disconnecting torque when a preset threshold is exceeded. Available technologies include EAS® load-separating designs, ROBA® slip hubs and specialized solutions for high-speed, heavy-duty and difficult-to-access drives.
Explore Torque Limiters →Shaft Couplings
mayr shaft couplings provide backlash-free torque transmission while compensating for shaft misalignment. Product families include ROBA® DS disc pack couplings, smartflex® metal bellows couplings and vibration-damping ROBA® ES elastomer couplings.
Explore Shaft Couplings →Servo, Vertical-Axis & Cobot Brakes
ROBA® servostop® brakes are designed for servo motors and robotic applications, including compact solutions for cobots. ROBA® topstop® provides a ready-to-install safety-brake module for securing vertical axes between the servo motor and gearbox.
Explore Servo Brakes →Brake Monitoring & Control
The ROBA® brake-checker® provides sensorless monitoring of compatible safety brakes, while the ROBA® gateway can make brake operating data available over Ethernet for visualization and higher-level monitoring. Additional supply modules support brake switching and control.
Explore Monitoring Components →Electromagnetic Clutches & Specialty Drives
mayr also manufactures electromagnetic switchable clutches, magnetic torque-control products and DC drive technologies for applications requiring controlled engagement, repeatable torque transmission or specialized motor and drive configurations.

mayr components are used where machinery must stop safely, hold a load, protect a drive train from overload or transmit torque with high accuracy and minimal backlash.
Robotics & Automation
Compact safety brakes, servo brakes and precision couplings can support robotic joints, cobots, automated axes and other machines where low inertia, repeatability and dependable braking are critical.
Machine Tools
Backlash-free torque limiters, servo couplings and safety brakes help protect machining equipment from collisions while supporting precise positioning and dynamic machine motion.
Vertical Axes
Safety-brake solutions can secure vertically moving machine axes and hold loads in position when drives are stopped, motors are serviced or electrical power is removed.
AGVs & Mobile Automation
Compact braking technologies support automated guided vehicles and other mobile automation systems where controlled movement and reliable stopping are essential.
Packaging, Filling & Conveying
Torque limiters, clutches and couplings help protect packaging equipment, filling machinery and conveyor drives against jams, overloads and unexpected process conditions.
Test Stands & High-Speed Drives
High-performance torque limiters and precision shaft couplings can protect test specimens, torque transducers and rotating equipment in high-speed or torque-critical test applications.
Select the Right Brake, Torque Limiter or Coupling for the Application
Our Sales and Technical Teams can help review torque, speed, inertia, shaft dimensions, motor and gearbox configuration, required stopping or holding function, overload conditions and environmental requirements when selecting mayr products. We can also coordinate mayr components with motors, gearboxes, actuators and supporting machine technologies.
Brake Application Review
Evaluate load, holding torque, emergency-stop requirements, mounting position, shaft speed, operating environment and duty cycle when selecting a safety brake.
Overload Protection
Review normal operating torque, peak torque, drive inertia, anticipated overload conditions and desired re-engagement behavior when selecting a torque limiter.
Coupling Selection
Match transmitted torque, shaft diameters, speed, torsional stiffness, misalignment and damping requirements to disc pack, bellows or elastomer coupling technologies.
WBIYII Integration
Where appropriate, mayr brakes, torque limiters or couplings can be coordinated with motors, gearboxes, actuators, mounting components and other hardware as part of a repeatable WBIYII assembly or installation-ready kit.
Selection note: Brake, clutch, torque-limiter and shaft-coupling selection should be based on the complete mechanical system. Important factors may include nominal and peak torque, speed, inertia, braking energy, emergency-stop frequency, shaft misalignment, duty cycle, environmental conditions and applicable machine-safety requirements. Final sizing and configuration should be verified for the specific application.
Product Selection, Configuration & Technical Resources
mayr provides product-selection and configuration tools that can help narrow product options based on the mechanical and performance requirements of the application.
Complete the Drive & Motion System
mayr brakes, torque limiters and couplings often operate alongside electric motors, servo systems, gearboxes, linear actuators and robotic equipment. Explore complementary technologies available through Scott Equipment Company.
