Force Control Industries celebrates 50 years of manufacturing long lasting oil shear clutches, brakes and clutch brakes. Although industries and applications have come and gone in the 5 decades that the company has been in business, they continue to develop new uses for their unique oil shear technology. All Force Control products are manufactured in their Fairfield, OH (suburban Cincinnati) factory, and are supplied to a wide range of industries including aggregate and mining, chemical and food processing, bottling plants, lumber manufacturing, concrete block manufacturing, packaging, steel mills, and general industrial/manufacturing.
“We specialize in difficult applications where traditional brakes and clutches have failed,” says President Joe Besl. “Our products usually last 5-10 times longer that whatever we’re replacing, with no adjustment or maintenance required. That’s a significant savings for our customers over the life of the product.”
