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?
Synchronization
The deployed lifting cylinders must be meticulously synchronized because the lifting system is unevenly loaded.
Power Outage
Power outages make it too risky. The lifting platform could just plummet, requiring multiple safety measures.
Elaborate and expensive maintenance
The maintenance of hydraulic cylinders is simply too labor-intensive, and the hydraulic oil is always too expensive.
Operating Costs
To prevent the lifting system from plummeting, a power unit must run continuously. This consumes electricity without providing any real benefit during downtime.
Mobility
The lifting system must be mobile. However, with pneumatic and hydraulic lifting cylinders, the power unit drains the battery within a very short time.
Force Density
To move the lifting table, the lifting system requires excessive energy just to be able to lift from the retracted position.
Electromechanical drive technology solves your problem with individual drives or in system networks
✔️ SLEEP SOUNDLY
Screw jacks provide a high level of safety in critical applications due to their self-locking feature. A power outage is therefore no longer relevant for you as a planner of a lift system. Furthermore, the drives can be equipped with safety features that offer continuous wear monitoring.
✔️ EFFORTLESS MAINTENANCE
No more changing hydraulic oil, no more unplanned downtime due to burst hydraulic hoses. With electromechanical lifting cylinders, you can plan maintenance in advance or even automate it using central lubrication systems or grease cartridges. Additionally, lifespan calculations allow for precise predictions of upcoming replacement actions.
✔️ EASY PLANNED SYSTEM
Synchronizing multiple drives, power supply connections, and configuration settings – all are no longer an issue with electromechanical drives. A mechanical coupling via cardan shafts allows not only the synchronization of all drives but also the central routing of power supply lines to a single motor.

Hausmann + Haensgen GmbH & Co. KG
The company GROB has once again proven itself as a flexible problem solver. When manufacturing a special ball screw drive with a coated spindle and stainless steel ball screw nuts in non-standard dimensions, we received competent and collaborative advice and delivery. Keep up the good work!

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.
David Kaiser
Technician
The company GROB provided outstanding support during my technical project. From the very beginning, the GROB team was extremely committed to overseeing the project and always provided the required CAD data quickly and reliably. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the company GROB for their consistently friendly and helpful support.

FAQs
What is linear drive technology?
What types of linear drives are there?
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_rightHow do electromechanical linear actuators differ from hydraulic or pneumatic ones?
Electric linear drives use electrical energy for motion, whereas hydraulic and pneumatic drives use fluids or gases. Electric drives are more precise and efficient.
What's a screw jack?
A spindle lifting drive 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_rightWhat's a linear chain?
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_rightWhat's an electric cylinder?
An 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_rightWhat's a screw drive?
A 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_rightWhat's a linear actuator?
A 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.
What's a high-speed screw jack?
A high-speed screw jack is a mechanical device that enables fast and precise linear motion. It is often used in applications with short strokes and high speeds.
