Brake Management System targets agricultural machines.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 08:28:15 -0500

Based on electrically variable pumps, zero displacement motors, and intelligent control electronics, Hydrostatic Brake Management System prevents diesel engine from overspeeding. Braking algorithm, which is stored in BODAS controller, moves pump back instantly when pressure is applied to brake pedal, reducing geometric displacement of pump accordingly. Pressure-relief valves fitted to all hydrostatic travel drives allow system to achieve braking effect greater than drag torque of engine.

Electromagnetic Brakes are designed for wind turbines.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 08:30:25 -0500

Electrically-released, spring-engaged brakes of ERS series serve as pitch brakes for wind turbine applications that require both static holding power and ability to withstand high inertia dynamic stops in emergency situation. Each electromagnetic brake is mounted outboard of inductive encoder, which is mounted to back of motor to position blades to proper pitch. Largest model, ERS68, has capacity of more than 20,000 fully-loaded dynamic stops and offers 100 lb-ft of static torque.

Roller Drive has spring-loaded rotor locking break mechanism.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — 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.

Holding Brake produces more than 23,000 lb-ft torque.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Fri, 03 Mar 2006 07:08:36 -0500

Multiple disk, spring-applied Holding Brake is intended for emergency braking on electric motors used in construction elevators, which transport both people and construction material and have potential load of 155 tons. If power or motor failure occurs or if cable breaks, brake immediately stops elevator from falling. Since safety is of highest concern, brake is mounted on output side of gearbox.
