ESC System features 6-piston pump configuration.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 07:40:22 -0500

TRW solution is modular multi-piston pump based electronic stability control (ESC) that delivers high pressure build rate. With ability to quickly build brake pressure independent of vacuum boost from the engine, it allows for rapid braking in cold start, low-temperature, and high-altitude scenarios, and is suited for advanced systems such as Automatic Emergency Braking when full stopping force is applied independent of the driver.

Roller Drive has spring-loaded rotor locking break mechanism.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 07:44:52 -0500

Designed specifically for decline conveyors with fail safe requirement, Model EC100B RollerDrive features spring loaded fail safe brake that prevents drifting on inclines while ensuring smooth operation and low noise emission. Mechanical rotor-locking break is spring-loaded and cycles with main power; it does not cycle with each start and stop of the conveyor. As long as the power bus is on, the magnetic force created by solenoid keeps rotor free.
