Warner Electric Launches Gen 2 Clutch/Brake Modules



Advanced C-face technology improves appearance and performance

February 22, 2008 - South Beloit, IL - Warner Electric, an Altra Industrial Motion company, announces its new line of Gen 2 Packaged Electromagnetic Clutch/Brake modules. Advanced design, material, and manufacturing technologies allow Gen 2 to feature several enhancements in performance and appearance compared to the original C-Face design.

Improvements to the internal component mounting and external housing fin design increase heat dissipation, optimizing stop/start frequencies - particularly in enclosed configurations. Better input-to-output axis alignment reduces vibration, noise, and wear. Custom mounting bolts allow the conduit box to be located directly on top of the unit for consistent orientation across the product line.
Integrated mounting bolts make installation easier.

Optional cover kits readily convert vented units into fully enclosed modules that keep contaminants out and wear particles in for clean, quiet operation.

Unit fits and wiring requirements remain unchanged, allowing Gen 2 to directly replace original C-Face models in sizes 50, 100, and 180. Sizes 210 and 215 will continue to be manufactured in their original C-Face design.

Warner Electric has developed several tools to assist customers in transitioning to the Gen 2 product line during a phased-in conversion process, including a Gen 2 website (www.WarnerElectricGen2.com ), an interactive training program, a part conversion tool and an updated e-catalog.
