For more than 50 years, Placid Industries has continued to produce high-quality products with strong technical performance. With a business model based on performance, rapid delivery and responsive customer service, Placid has become a trusted supplier of clutches and brakes to a diverse, global customer base across a wide range of industries. Placid Industries’ products are well known throughout the US and Europe for tension control applications where unwinding/rewinding is required or in applications where torque needs to be controlled independently of RPM.
