Construction Technology
Founded in: 1898
Ortlinghaus Group.
Otto Ortlinghaus established the Ortlinghaus Group in 1898. It
originally manufactured machine knives and tools. Since 1923
Ortlinghaus has been producing plates, which form the techno-
logical core of most of our products.
Today, we are a fourth-generation family-run company with more
than 550 employees and manufacturing sites in Germany, Swit-
zerland, and China. We are proud of our long history and have
structures and processes in place to ensure the long-term stability
of the Group. Our values and long-term targets, which comprise
stability, innovation, and growth, are aligned in this respect, too.
One of the most distinctive features of the Group is its collabor-
ative culture. Shareholders, management and employees alike
all have a firm commitment to this. In addition, we promise our
customers to always and unwaveringly protect the Ortlinghaus
brand, which is embodied in the quality of our products. Since
the foundation of our company, we have repeatedly left our mark
on technology history: As early as 1932, Ortlinghaus produced
multi-plate clutches as a complete machine element.

However, we achieved worldwide renown with the Sinus®
plate, which had a substantial impact on press technology. The
last decade has seen many breakthrough developments in the
field of mechatronic systems, especially in the press technology
and marine technology sectors. One recent example of this is the
Pa.go mechatronic closed-loop control system for clutch-brake
units in large automotive presses.
Next to the construction technology sector, Ortlinghaus is active in
the following industries:
• Marine technology
• Agriculture & Forestry technology
• Press technology
• Oil & Gas technology
• Materials handling technology
• Mining technology
 We have been active in the field of construction technology for
more than 75 years. Today, we offer products across the entire
spectrum of drives and slewing gears as well as cranes and
winches. This includes free-fall winch brakes, hydraulic multi-
plate brakes and plates.
Ortlinghaus has developed a reputation for quality throughout
the world – and we are highly motivated to meet and exceed
our previous standards. We work with our customers to create
custom solutions that are characterized by innovation and
superior engineering.
Our worldwide network of more than 25 subsidiaries, sales partners
and service hubs ensures our high degree of customer service.

Industry Overview and Business Units.

Drive- / slewing gear / hydraulic drills Cranes / winches

Different types of brakes are used for excavator applications.
Some of them are in use for high static torque, others must be
backlash-free. In deep drilling machines, a drill is driven by
pressure from the top and a downward rotational movement
in the soil. Depending on the depth, this drill can be extended
indefinitely with a drill link.
>> Page 6
A crane is a device powered by motors for vertical and horizontal
loading. It is usually used for loading and unloading ships (cargo
and container), trains and trucks, as well as in assembly, manu-
facturing, warehouses, and building construction. For lifting and
lowering loads and moving masts different winches are used.

For dry- and wet-running clutches and brakes, Ortlinghaus is able
to provide a very comprehensive range of plates. The plates and
the friction surface are important functional elements in every
clutch and brake, and have been developed in many different
ways since the early days of clutches and brakes. The choice
of friction system depends on the application: in general, one
plate with friction material works together with a counterplate of
steel or cast iron. The inner and outer plates are mounted with
the other drive components by lugs and slots, and the spline
is in accordance with DIN 867 and DIN 5480 as well as other
standards. In addition, holes in the plate for studs and special
shapes in accordance with customer requirements are available.
Combined with a multi-plate clutch or brake, these plates come
in a multitude of different dimensions, friction combinations, and
surface patterns.
The 022 series is one of the most successful Ortlinghaus
products. Well over one million units are in service around the
world wherever safety brakes with an extremely long service life
and quality without compromise are required. In construction
equipment engineering, these multi-plate brakes are used in
travel-/drive and slew-drive brake applications.
The advantage of these wet-running, hydraulically released and
spring-applied multi-plate brakes is the high torques they achieve
in compact dimensions. Hydraulically actuated brakes are also
available as a special version.
The spring-loaded brakes are safety brakes, which automatically
work in cases of pressure failure. The brakes can achieve full
torque even when there is no pressure.

The Ortlinghaus brake products for free-fall winch applications
represent the cutting edge in construction brake engineering.
We offer two brake types, one with a single plate pack, the
other with a double plate pack.

Both are spring-loaded brakes which are hydraulically released.

The single plate pack product is based on the construction
principle of the model series 022, with an additional piston
chamber which allows pressure-activated braking. 1,000

The double plate pack product has two plate packs with
different friction pairings. This allows dynamic braking as well
as holding a load while avoiding micro-slippage.

An integrated management system (IMS) that takes into account
all processes is the basis for Ortlinghaus’ corporate policy. Quality,
occupational health and safety, and environmental protection
play crucial roles for our company.
We have analyzed and documented all relevant processes in the
value chain. Our IMS is based on the resulting summary of pro-
cess descriptions, plans, procedures and guidelines as well as the
Ortlinghaus Management Manual.
The management system is the basis for all business activities
in our company and for our relationship with our customers. It
ensures that all customer-oriented product and manufacturing
specifications are reflected in elaborate instructions regarding
quality assurance and quality control and that they comply with
the relevant operating instructions and quality standards of the
Ortlinghaus Management System.
Our quality management system is based on the ISO 9001 stand-
ard. In the area of environmental protection, we are certified at
the Wermelskirchen site according to ISO 14001. In energy man-
agement, we are certified according to ISO 50001.
Ortlinghaus assigns the highest priority to occupational health
and safety. We live up to our principles in this area in our daily
conduct. At Wermelskirchen, we have achieved ISO 18001 cer-
tification.
Our goal is to minimize the impact of our activities on the envi-
ronment. For this reason, all employees of the Ortlinghaus Group
have committed themselves to complying with essential environ-
mental guidelines. In addition, all our processes in Wermelskirchen
are certified accordingly.
We are convinced that long-term success can be achieved only
through the right balance of economic, ecological and social
conduct.
