Material handling

Solutions for efficient and safe material handling

We supply drive equipment for rotary and linear motion in material handling that contributes to ergonomic, efficient and safe movements in industrial environments. From the early applications in belt conveyors, our products have evolved towards more advanced units in step with increasing demands for ergonomics, precision and reliability. Today our solutions are used in a wide range of applications for moving goods sideways and vertically.

Material handling with precise movements

Through close cooperation with our customers, we ensure that every application is sized for the right speed, force and precision. Our engineering team provides advice, CAD support and technical calculations to develop customized solutions that handle the specific stresses material handling equipment is exposed to. Our quality processes and full traceability in the supply chain ensure that every delivery maintains a high and consistent quality. In material handling we supply components and systems that enable safe, controlled and efficient movement of goods. Our worm gears and screw jacks are used in applications where precise movements, the right power transmission and robust reliability are decisive requirements.

We deliver customized applications

In material handling we mainly supply worm gears and screw jacks, while electromechanical cylinders are becoming an increasingly attractive alternative with electrification and the transition from hydraulics and pneumatics to more energy-efficient solutions. The degree of customization varies from project to project, but we always work closely with the customer’s development team to ensure optimal function and integration into the end application. Our solutions offer high reliability and durability and can be further developed over time as needs change.

Height adjustment

Worm gears and screw jacks ensure controlled and stable height adjustment of equipment where ergonomics and safety are in focus.

Lateral and positioning movements

Our solutions enable reliable linear or rotary positioning in systems that require repeated, precise movements.

Lifting and transfer movements

Robust worm gears and screw jacks are used in applications where heavy loads are to be moved or lifted with a high level of safety.

Swedrive as a supplier

We work as a technical partner rather than a traditional supplier. By listening to the customer’s needs, we design solutions that are optimal for each area of use. During development we cooperate with the customer’s own development team, and prototypes are tested and evaluated before series production. Integration with the customer’s existing machines or systems is optimized jointly to ensure high functionality and long-term reliability.
