"Moreover, our industrial product line is one of the widest in the entire industry; we have more than 5000 different existing designs of clutches and brakes for applications requiring .01 ounce-inches to 25,000 pound-foot of torque," highlights Brian Mather, sales manager at Ogura Industrial.Interestingly, the solution portfolio of Ogura does not end with just the manufacturing of customized braking systems. The company is playing a crucial role in the `electrification race.' "Where once vehicles and equipment were powered with combustion engines and functioned with hydraulics and pneumatics, electrification is paving the way for more essential and beneficial applications for electromagnetic clutches and brakes. It also applies to functions that may have been performed manually in the past such as warehousing or surgical robotics," mentions Mather. "With our specialized manufacturing capabilities, we can deliver exactly what the clients need to accelerate the electrification journey, and much more." To best explain how these capabilities help Ogura's clients, Mather shares an instance where Ogura helped a manufacturing company improve the braking systems in their products. The design improvements made in the brake module by Ogura enabled the client to improve the lifecycle of their products by almost 250 percent, which in turn, allowed the client to offer a longer warranty to their customers. Needless to say, they began witnessing a significant rise in customer satisfaction.This is but one of the many success stories that the company has penned in the industry. Currently, Ogura has many new projects in their pipeline. The company is also helping designers by sharing experiences and know-how while also providing 3D models of their products for quick and easy evaluation. Simultaneously, the company is also increasing its collaboration with trusted brands across the industry to expand its portfolio. With such impressive developments on the way, there is no doubt that Ogura has an electrifying future ahead! Ogura is one of the early adopters of robotics technology in electromagnetic clutch and brake manufacturing
