SITEMA is the only company in the world specializing exclusively in the development and production of clamping devices and linear brakes on round rods. The consequence of that specialization: SITEMA is an internationally respected partner to machinery manufacturers. We specialize in securing, clamping and fi xing loads in axial motion. It is a fi eld in which we have been a leading brand name for many years, particularly with our SITEMA Clamping Heads. Alongside our broad product portfolio, we offer unique consulting and solution-delivering expertise to meet any challenge. It was back in 1979 that SITEMA developed the first system enabling the transmission of high braking forces of hydraulic elevators by friction directly on the piston rod. This new technology was the foundation for ongoing development and diversifi cation into a wide variety of different clamping heads. Today, SITEMA manufactures hydraulically, pneumatically, mechanically and electrically operated clamping heads for many different applications.
