Double C-Face Coupler Brakes use oil shear technology.

Mounting between reducer and standard C-Face motor, Double C-Face Coupler BrakesÂ- are suitable for palletizers, packaging machinery, airline baggage handling systems, and cranes. Air actuated Posistop and electrically actuated MagnaShear brakes never need adjustment and require only annual fluid change. Using layer of automatic transmission fluid between brake disc and drive plate, oil shear...

Mechanical Power Transmission

Electric Motor Brakes utilize reduced wear/stress design.

Available in Quick-Mount versions, MagnaShear brakes come filled with oil and ready to mount, with no disassembly required. Brake's fan acts as quill clamping device, while pilotless design allows slide-on shaft mounting and brake self-centering. Brakes avoid heat and wear by operating friction surfaces in constantly circulating oil. Units are available in 9 spring-set torque ratings from 6-86...

Clutch/Brakes come in food grade and washdown trim.

Posidyne X Class oil-shear clutch/brakes feature torque ratings from 100-1,000 lb-in., cycle rates to 400+ cpm, and 20 msec response. Models fit drives up to 10 hp. Oil-shear provides inherent cushioning, and high thermal capacity eliminates torque fade. Washdown units have USDA-approved STEEL IT epoxy coating, stainless steel fasteners, nickel-plated shafts, stainless steel clamp collar, and...

Clutch/Brakes feature oil-shear design.

Posidyne X Series is engineered for up to 10 hp drives and is available in torque ratings from 100 to 1000 lb-in. Units transmit torque by shearing automatic transmission fluid between multiple friction discs, minimizing wear while absorbing heat of engagement, and dissipating it through housing. Pneumatic actuation allows precise control of torque and engagement speeds with simple pressure...
