The free online product configurator is an intuitive tool for engineers that helps them with quick and easy designs 24/7.
As Power Jacks continues to develop advanced mechanical systems, the need for robust, precisely specified braking solutions has become increasingly important across multiple projects.
Enhancing Design Efficiency with the Mayr Configurator
To support these requirements, Power Jacks has been working closely with Mayr Transmissions, a global leader in safety brakes, torque limiters, and power transmission solutions. Central to this collaboration has been Mayr’s online product configurator, a powerful digital tool that allows engineers to quickly select, customise and download detailed 3D models of braking systems tailored to specific application needs.
The configurator enables design teams to:
• Rapidly configure brake solutions based on performance requirements
• Instantly access accurate 3D CAD models for integration into assemblies
• Reduce design time and eliminate guesswork during early development stages
• Move more efficiently from concept to prototype
For Power Jacks, this has translated into faster design cycles, improved accuracy in system layouts and smoother progression from concept through to prototype orders.
The value of both the technology and the technical support behind it has been clear throughout the collaboration. As one Power Jacks representative shared:
“I’m really pleased with Mayr level of service and ease of 3D models downloading. Currently we are working on a few projects where brakes are required and a couple projects have now turned to the orders of prototype systems.
I would like to say thank you to Mayr team for ongoing excellent support. Their technical support and design flexibility makes our design process much easier and makes Mayr our primary choice when it comes to brakes.”
From Digital Design to Real-World Results
By combining Mayr’s advanced configurator with responsive technical expertise, Power Jacks has been able to confidently specify braking systems that align perfectly with their demanding engineering standards. The ability to download ready-to-use 3D models has not only accelerated internal workflows but also reduced risk during the design and prototyping stages.
What began as digital configuration has already progressed into prototype system orders. A clear demonstration of how smart engineering tools, backed by expert support, can drive real-world project success.
Supporting Engineering Teams Across Industries
The success of the collaboration between Power Jacks and Mayr Transmissions reflects a wider commitment to helping engineers work smarter, faster, and with greater confidence. Through intuitive digital tools such as the online configurator, combined with expert technical support, Mayr enables customers to rapidly specify reliable braking solutions tailored to their exact application needs.
Whether supporting early-stage design, accelerating prototyping or optimising final system performance, Mayr works closely with engineering teams to remove complexity from the selection process. The result is shorter development cycles, reduced risk and solutions that perform in the most demanding environments.
For companies facing tight timelines, evolving design requirements and the need for dependable safety components, Mayr Transmissions offers both the technology and the expertise to turn ideas into proven engineering outcomes.
