Force Control offers a comprehensive line of marine-duty clutches & brakes for ship deck equipment designed to meet the rigorous requirements of the maritime industry. Electric, pneumatic and hydraulic brakes, fitted with corrosion-resistant housings and hardware, can be found on Mooring Winches, Cranes, Capstans, Windlasses, Drilling Rig Drawworks and more. Oil Shear Technology means more accurate positioning, longer life and no maintenance or adjustment.

Marine-Specific Challenges and Force Control Solutions

Marine environments present different challenges that demand specialized engineering solutions. Our marine brake motors are designed to address the most demanding maritime operational requirements. We understand that reliable clutches and brakes are critical for operational safety, maintaining precise equipment control, withstanding harsh environmental conditions, and minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.

Our marine electric brakes represent a breakthrough in brake systems. Our proprietary Oil Shear Technology provides superior performance, extended equipment life, and consistent reliability even in the most challenging maritime conditions. Our products are made to resist corrosion, withstand extreme temperatures, and maintain peak performance under continuous, high-intensity use.

Product Line for Marine Applications

Force Control Industries offers a comprehensive range of marine-specific solutions tailored to meet diverse operational needs. Our Magnashear® brakes are specifically designed for severe-duty applications, providing exceptional performance in critical equipment like winches, hoists and cranes. These robust systems guarantee precise control and maximum reliability in maritime environments.

IP65 Protection and Advanced Technology

Our brakes are rated IP65 and impervious to dust, water and other contaminants which has set a new standard in marine equipment protection. These IP65 brakes provide complete protection against water ingress and dust, making them ideal for exposed marine applications. The IP65 rating guarantees that our equipment can withstand the most challenging maritime environments, from offshore platforms to dredging vessels.

Our Oil Shear Technology represents a revolutionary approach to energy transfer and heat dissipation in clutch and brake systems. By reimagining traditional dry braking methods, we’ve developed solutions that offer superior heat management, smoother engagement, and significantly extended component lifespans.
