The highest power SSS Clutch yet produced transmits 300MW at 3000rpm.
The highest torque SSS Clutch yet produced transmits 4MNm at 600rpm.
In both cases these clutches have been in operation for over 20 years.

It is a deliberate policy of SSS to keep the number of employees to a minimum so that Senior Management are able to be directly involved in all aspects of the product at every stage from application engineering and design, through inspection, assembly, testing, and, where required, commissioning.

An important aspect of this drive to remain a compact organisation is the decision, made at the foundation of the Company, to subcontract all manufacturing work. This allows SSS to select suppliers on the basis of their efficiency, capability and cost effectiveness, consistent with their ability to meet the Company’s high quality standards. In addition, the substantial management time which can be absorbed by single source “in house” manufacture is avoided.

These policies enable SSS to provide a high quality product at a competitive price, supported by quick and effective customer service. By restricting its size the Company is also able to remain privately owned with the freedom to pursue its ideals of technical excellence and innovation.
