Damper Actuator/Air Brake operates with minimal noise.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 07:08:44 -0600

Suited for HVAC market, ultra-quiet spring return damper actuator incorporates Whisper Motion(TM) air brake and Synchron® AC synchronous motor. Air brake adds virtually no resistance during power open cycle but adds drag as acceleration increases during spring return cycle. This drag reduces rotational kinetic energy, which helps prolong gearing life and minimizes operational noise.

Designed to prevent surprise problems, Smart Brake includes pad wear indicators that call attention to brake pads only when they need to be changed, eliminating common practice of changing all brake pads at regular intervals, regardless of wear. Heat detection features identify signs of overheating, and can automatically activate fans to dissipate heat, without operator intervention. Guard design dissipates heat, while allowing access to brake pads.

Functioning as redundant braking or load holding mechanism, ball screw/stage brake is high-torque, spring-engaged, air-released brake acting on non-driven end of ball screw. It serves as safety brake in event of mechanical defect in driveline, particularly in Z-axis applications. Featuring bi-directional braking, it operates in both vertical and horizontal applications. Brake allows thermal expansion of ball screw and meets IP67 dust- and waterproof standards.

Water-Cooled Brake features dual piston design.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Mon, 10 Jun 2002 07:41:51 -0600

WCBD air-actuated, water-cooled disc brake is available in 6 sizes with torque ratings to 2,744,000 lb-in. and horsepower ratings to 5,200 hp. Small piston provides 25% of full rated brake torque and large piston provides 75% of full rated torque. Brake includes split wear spacers that allow for wear and adjustment without disassembly of brake, friction material to eliminate stick and slip, and optional corrosion protection.

Brake Controller operates pneumatically.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Thu, 09 May 2002 07:47:24 -0600

Manual device is suitable for open-loop unwind applications that do not require automated closed-loop control. It operates on 0 to 100 psi filtered shop air and has 3 pneumatic solenoids that channel air flow to 1, 2, or 3 brakes or brake cylinders. Two-position toggle switches turn each output channel on and off. Adjustable regulator knob and air pressure gauge on front panel let machine operator change output pressure in real time.
