Download Product Manual

Operation

  • Spring pressure compresses drive and friction discs to produce a fixed amount of torque.
  • The brake releases when energized with sufficient air pressure (see table below).

Mounting

  • The brake flange bolts to a machine frame or other fixture, the shaft inserts into the bore and is fixed with a customer supplied key.
  • Brake can also be mounted mid-shaft with the flange connected to a bracket.
  • Spring engaged brakes are designed for horizontal mounting. If vertical mounting is required, consult engineering.

Applications

  • Spring engaged brakes are designed for holding applications.
  • Maximum RPM varies by model. Please consult the detail sheets (below). Consult engineering if the intended application exceeds the listed maximum RPM.

Design Features

  • Spring engaged brakes are made-to-order with any bore size up to the maximum shown for easy installation.
  • Drilled and slotted flange allows for variable installation arrangements.
  • Low coefficient friction lining versions are available for applications requiring slip or a narrower torque range. Contact engineering for details.

Customization Options

All Mach III products can be customized to meet the needs of your application.
