Who is Mayr and what does it make?
Mayr Antriebstechnik is a German manufacturer of safety brakes, torque limiters and drive couplings, founded in 1897 and headquartered in Mauerstetten. The group has around 650 employees at the head office and about 1,200 worldwide, with production in Germany, Poland, China and India (the plant in India opened in autumn 2024). The range of safety brakes covers both models for lifts and stage technology (ROBA-stop silenzio, ROBA diskstop, ROBA twinstop, ROBA-stop stage) and brakes for industrial applications (ROBA topstop, ROBA-stop S, ROBA-stop M).
The Mayr range covers the mechanical safety chain: torque limiters (ROBA slip hub, the EAS-compact family, EAS HTL, EAS HT, EAS reverse) for overload protection, and flexible couplings (ROBA DS servo, ROBA DS steel, ROBA DS heavy duty) for the actual transmission of motion. The aluminium Type 9120 coupling (ROBA DS Aluminium, for torque transducers) has a low moment of inertia. The DQS and IQNet certifications and AEO status confirm an audited quality management system and simplified customs procedures for export.
For Romania, the Mayr range makes sense for manufacturers of lifts, wind turbines, machine tools and cranes who need a safety brake or a torque limiter identified by the original code of the installation.
What do we supply from the Mayr range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| Safety Brakes for Lifts (ROBA-stop silenzio, ROBA diskstop, ROBA twinstop) | Electromagnetic safety brakes for lifts and stage technology, with quiet operation. The customer needs to confirm the braking torque required and the coil supply voltage. |
| Industrial Safety Brakes (ROBA topstop, ROBA-stop S, ROBA-stop M) | Safety brakes for industrial applications: ROBA-stop S (extreme conditions, up to IP67), ROBA-stop M (motor brake, up to IP66) and ROBA topstop (vertical axes with servo motors). |
| Torque Limiters (ROBA slip hub, EAS-compact, EAS HT/HTL/reverse) | Torque limiters for protecting the drive train against overload, with various disengagement principles depending on the application. |
| ROBA DS Couplings (servo, steel, heavy duty) and Type 9120 | Flexible couplings for servo motors and industrial drives, with the aluminium Type 9120 version, with a low moment of inertia, for torque transducers. |
Why Mayr?
- Over 125 years of experience in safety brakes and torque limiters
- A range dedicated to lifts and stage technology, separate from the general industrial range
- Aluminium Type 9120 coupling, with a low moment of inertia, for torque transducers
- Torque limiters with different operating principles — friction, magnetic hysteresis, disengagement with re-engagement — depending on the type of overload

How do we supply Mayr in Romania?
We bring in Mayr safety brakes, torque limiters and couplings on order, through supply channels in the European Union, usually in 1–4 weeks depending on the confirmation of the code with the manufacturer. The information on the ranges comes from the manufacturer's technical documentation; we confirm exact availability in the quotation. For a correct quotation we need the braking or disengagement torque required, the shaft diameter and the supply voltage, if applicable. We do not promise permanent availability for a particular code from the Mayr range.
The compatibility of a Mayr brake or coupling is checked against the original code of the installation or of the motor.
Frequently asked questions about Mayr
What products does Mayr make?
Mayr makes electromagnetic safety brakes, torque limiters and flexible drive couplings, used on lifts, wind turbines, machine tools, cranes and stage technology. The company has over 125 years of experience and also offers the aluminium Type 9120 coupling, with low inertia.
How do I choose the right Mayr safety brake for my installation?
The main difference is the application: the ROBA-stop silenzio, diskstop and twinstop series is designed for lifts and stage technology, quiet in operation, while ROBA topstop (vertical axes with servo motors), ROBA-stop S and ROBA-stop M are for industrial applications. Send us the braking torque required and the supply voltage to identify the correct code.
What is the difference between the EAS-compact and ROBA slip hub torque limiters from Mayr?
EAS-compact disengages on overload (versions that re-engage after a number of rotations or at 360°), while ROBA slip hub transmits torque by friction and slips above the set value. The choice depends on the disengagement torque required and the space available on the shaft.
Can you supply Mayr products in Romania and in what time?
Yes, we bring in Mayr brakes, torque limiters and couplings on order through supply channels in the European Union, usually in 1–4 weeks depending on the confirmation of the code with the manufacturer. We do not keep this range on the shelf.
How do I request a Mayr quotation?
Send the Mayr code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
