Move loads intelligently and safely with electromechanical drive solutions
Experience how electromechanical drives can reduce your operating costs and allow you to have firm control over your system with minimal effort.
We believe in long-term partnerships
Are you also struggling with these problems?
The deployed lifting cylinders must be meticulously synchronized because the lifting system is unevenly loaded.
The maintenance of hydraulic cylinders is simply too labor-intensive, and the hydraulic oil is always too expensive.
To prevent the lifting system from plummeting, a power unit must run continuously. This consumes electricity without providing any real benefit during downtime.
Electromechanical drive technology solves your problem with individual drives or in system networks
Sleep soundly
Thanks to their self-locking capability, screw jack systems ensure a high level of safety, even in the event of a power failure, and can be equipped with elements for continuous wear monitoring.
Easy maintenance
Without hydraulic oil and failure-prone hoses, electromechanical drives prevent unplanned service interventions. Centralized lubrication systems or grease cartridges enable automated lubrication.
Easy planned system
Mechanical coupling via connecting shafts enables the synchronization of multiple drives, while the power supply can be routed centrally to a single motor.

It was important to me to have someone who has their manufacturing in the region and can also provide personal advice directly at the facility. Of course, you could buy the drives cheaper in Italy, but what if a problem arises? With GROB, I’ve had really great experiences – both in technical consultation and on-site service.

FAQs
Linear drive technology makes something move in a straight line instead of rotating. It's used in machines to push or pull things precisely back and forth.
There are mechanical, electromechanical, direct electric Linear Actuators (linear motors), as well as hydraulic and pneumatic linear actuators. We utilize electromechanical actuators in our drive solutions.
Which types of linear drive technology there are - GROB GmbH chevron_rightElectric linear drives use electrical energy for motion, whereas hydraulic and pneumatic drives use fluids or gases. Electric drives are more precise and efficient.
A Screw Jack is a combination of a spindle (screw) and a nut (worm gear or traveling nut) that converts rotational motion into linear motion through a worm gear drive.
How screw jacks work and where they are used - GROB GmbH chevron_rightA Linear Actuator converts rotational motion into linear motion. It is powered by electric motors. However, linear movements can also be achieved through hydraulic or pneumatic actuators. Electric Linear Actuators are used for more precise movements.
A Linear Chain is a type of chain that can be both pulled and pushed. When the chain links are pushed together, they stay stable and rigid, allowing you to move things forward. It’s often used in machines to lift or push objects.
What a Linear Chain is and where it is used - GROB GmbH chevron_rightAn Electric Cylinder is an electromechanical actuator that operates linearly and is powered by electrical energy to generate motion.
What an Electric Cylinder is and where it is used - GROB chevron_rightA screw drive is a mechanical device that converts rotational motion into linear motion. It consists of a spindle and a nut with matching threads.
Screw Drives: Trapezoidal Screw vs. Ball Screw - GROB GmbH chevron_rightA High-Speed Screw Jack is a mechanical device that enables fast and precise linear motion. It's often used in applications with short strokes and high speeds.
