Read any ‘Better Business’ book and you will always be told that ‘A company is only as good as its staff’, here at STM we have always be very aware of this and are lucky enough to have a very dedicated, professional and versatile team. To confirm our on-going commitment to growth and development we are very proud to introduce the latest addition to the team – Mr Wayne Patton – Sales Manager.

Wayne Patton - STM UK Sales Manager

Wayne is a highly motivated individual with an excellent track record of delivering results. Wayne was very loyal to his previous employers – German manufacturer Bauer Gearmotors – having worked his way up from the shop floor to Managing Director of the division over his 26 years of employment. Under his guidance the business grew year on year and continues to be an important player in the Geared Motor market. In a difficult industry he implemented strategies to ensure company growth, allowing it to thrive and stay ahead of the competition whilst maintaining integrity and professionalism throughout his tenure. Wayne is very well respected in the industry. Having achieved as much as he could with Bauer he is relishing the opportunity and challenge and opportunity for self development that being part of the STM Team will offer.

With STM UK going from strength to strength and showing growth year on year we are very excited about the future and the difference and positive influence Wayne will bring to the business so, on behalf of us all, we would like to welcome Wayne in to the team and collectively look forward to the future.

STM are pleased to inform all of our customers about another advance in the STM product range.  The new QL Quick Lock system is available on the OM – Bevel Helical Gearbox & P, PT & PL Parallel Shaft Gearbox ranges.

This system offers quick and easy changes of gearboxes mounted directly onto the machine shaft.  For applications where regular maintenance and minimum downtime is essential this development will be ideal.  The conical bush sleeve can be mounted onto the shaft and then locked on meaning a number of bore options in the same gearbox.

The product has been designed and manufactured in Italy using the very best materials ensuring perfect reliability and interchangability.

They are available on the gearbox ranges above and on sizes 71 and up.

Increased Worm Gearbox sizes

STM Spa are constantly updating and improving the range offered so today’s post is just a quick product update.  Following a requirement for a pre-stage gearbox on a lifting breakwater STM Spa has developed 2 new sizes of Worm Gearboxes to further increase the current range offered.  The current range offers centre distances from 28mm up to 180mm and this has been further complemented by the 2 new sizes offering 215mm and 250mm centres.

These gearboxes are designed, developed and manufactured ‘in house’ ensuring the continuing quality everyone has come to expect from the STM range.  The 2 new sizes are manufactured in cast iron and allows for the application of heavy loads.

These gearboxes lend themselves very well to many applications including – but not exclusively – Lifting Gearboxes, Winch Gearboxes, Mixer Gearboxes and for manipulator drums on Welding Machines.  Below is a little sneaky peek…..

Planetary Gearbox Bevel Input

Planetary Gearbox Bevel Input

Just a quick post today to keep you all up to date on a new option we have on our Planetary Gearbox range.  Although we already have right angle input options on our fantastic Planetary Gearbox range by using Worm Gearbox, Bevel Helical Gearbox or Skew Gearbox on the input we now have a dedicated, intergrated option available.  This option as seen in the pictures below allows a right angle input on your Planetary Gearbox  – for applications where space may be an issue – being completely intergrated into the Gearbox.  Get in touch if this is of interest to you.  Dont forget we can offer interchange ability with most other Planetary Gearbox manufacturers so even if this is for an existing application there is a good chance we can offer you a cost saving or at least an alternative to your existing supplier.

Heavy Duty Extruder Gearboxes

Here at STM UK we are constantly reminded of how lucky we are to be selling the wonderful product ranges offered to us through STM Spa and GSM Spa and today is no exception.  This morning we despatched a set of Heavy Duty Gearboxes to be used on plastic extrusion machines which itself is nothing out of the ordinary.  However GSM Spa not only manufacture the Heavy Duty Gearbox but are also good enough to manufacture the gearbox with the Thrust Bearing assembly for the extrusion process.  Unlike with some Gearbox suppliers where you have to buy the gearbox and then fit your own bearing assembly ours come ready assembled.

Heavy Duty Extruder Gearboxes

Heavy Duty Extruder Gearboxes ready for despatch

 In the picture you can see the Gearboxes lined up and ready for shipping.  These units were delivered to our customer on a dedicated lorry ready for assembly onto their machines.

GSM Spa also offer further Gearboxes for specific applications such as Gearboxes for Lifting and for Bucket Elevators.  These are of course units from the standard Bevel Helical and Parallel Shaft range which have been upgraded to suit the applications involved.

We must not forget all the other products we have which include Worm Gearboxes, Helical In-line Gearboxes, Planetary Gearboxes and so much more.  Follow this link to check out the product pages on our site and be amazed at the range we offer.

In the picture below you can see us loading one of the Gearboxes onto the trailer.  To try and put it into perspective this unit weighed in at over a tonne and overhung a double euro pallet.

 This, however, is not the biggest Gearbox we offer, in fact it is only a baby.  Again from the GSM range we offer a Gearbox – namely an RXO3/832 which weighs in at over 13 tonnes with a 350mm output, a bit of a beast.

I think that’s enough from me, I have a few more blogs in the bank which I will get done in the next few days so keep an eye on the blog in the coming days.

Ciao for now!!

New Workwear…..strike a pose!!

We are currently going through a period of investment throughout the company and one of the first places we are addressing is the works.  We are looking into a load of new equipment including new test panels, air pressure test machines, oil dispensing units, lifting equipment and benches due to our expansion and movement into higher end, heavy duty and high tech markets.  We are now supplying various industries with Planetary Gearboxes, Bevel Helical Gearboxes and Parallel Shaft Gearboxes up to 1.2million nm.

We hope to have all of this completed by the turn of the year but in the meantime thought it would be good to treat the works guys to some new works kit.  Check ‘em out in the picture below…..model agencies keep your hands off, these lot are not available for your winter catalogue campaign!!  Ok so now for the roll call, from left to right we have Danny – Stores Supervisor, Mark, Karl and Dave – our excellent Fitters and last but not least Tom, our stores apprentice.  Tom started with us a couple of months ago and is doing fantastically…..well done Tom, keep it up!!

I will also take this opportunity to mention the other apprentice who has started with us at the same time as Tom.  Stephen has spent a couple of months out in the works getting to grips with what we do and how the works and fitting department operate and has started – this very morning – in the business development department assisting Jamie, Chris and Martin with their day to day work.  Stephen is soon to commence on his customer service apprenticeship so you may well be speaking to him on the phone….please be gentle with him!!

I will do my very best to get some more news articles up, I have been rather slack recently but with all the other things going on I have struggled to find time…..note to self…must make time!!
