Supreme experience

It was back in 1979 that SITEMA developed the first system enabling the transmission of high braking forces of hydraulic elevators by friction directly on the piston rod. This new technology was the foundation for ongoing development and diversifi cation into a wide variety of different clamping heads. Today, SITEMA manufactures hydraulically, pneumatically, mechanically and electrically operated clamping heads for many different applications.
