|
| ||
| Torque Rating | The maximum torque rating for the brake should equal or exceed the application's requirement. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| Speed | The maximum rotary speed rating. This specification applies only to rotary brakes. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| Power | The maximum power rating for the brake. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| Maximum Pressure | The maximum air pressure for a pneumatic brake. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| Linear Force (if applicable): | The maximum thrust or linear force which the brake is rated to handle. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| Linear Speed | The maximum linear speed. This specification applies only to linear brakes. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| Brake Engagement: | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Noncontact | Braking action is achieved through a non-contact technology such as a magnetic field, eddy currents, etc. | ||
| Friction | Friction between contact surfaces transmits power. This is the most common type of brake. | ||
| Toothed | Toothed contact surfaces transmit power without slipping or heat generation. Teeth are engaged only when stopped or running at a slow speed (< 20 rpm). | ||
| Wrap Spring | A coiled spring wraps downward onto the rotating element. The brake is disengaged when the spring is uncoiled via a control tang at its end. | ||
| Oil Shear | Braking action is engaged via the viscous action of the shearing of transmission fluid. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary brake engagement mechanisms. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
| Brake Type: | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Band | Band brakes are the simplest type of brake. They have a metal band lined with heat- and wear-resistant friction material. | ||
| Drum | Drum brakes press shoes against a spinning surface. They are often used on automobile rear wheels. | ||
| Disc | Disc brakes have brake pads, a caliper, and a rotor. During operation, the brake pads are squeezed against the rotor. Disc brakes have good heat dissipation properties. | ||
| Cone | Cone brakes consist of a cup and a cone, which is lined with a heat- and wear-resistant friction material. During actuation, the cone is pressed against the mating cup surface. Cone brakes are not commonly used. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary brake engagement configurations. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
| Brake Operation: | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Spring Actuation / Engage | The spring engages during operation and requires power to disengage. Spring-actuated brakes are also called power-off brakes, fail-safe brakes, and safety brakes. | ||
| Spring Return / Disengage | The brakes need power to engage. A spring is used to disengage the brake. Spring-return brakes are also called power-on brakes and non-fail-safe brakes. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted brake operation technologies. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
Features & Options
Back to Top
|
|
| ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Feedback | Feedback provides an electrical or electronic signal for monitoring parameters such as position, speed, torque, lockup, or slip status. | ||
| Adjustable Torque | Adjustable torque is used primarily for slip clutches and torque limiters. Users can adjust the torque at which the clutch disengages or slips. | ||
| Zero Backlash | There is no play or backlash during the engagement of the load and no load disengagement during a direction reversal. | ||
| Washdown Capable | The housing is rated for washdown cleaning. | ||
| Bi-directional | Devices can be set-up to rotate in either direction. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
Mounting Geometry

|
|
| ||
| Shaft Configuration: | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| In-line | The clutch or brake shaft is along same axis as the driven or braked load. | ||
| Parallel | The clutch or brake shaft is parallel, but offset from the axis of the driven or braked load. | ||
| Right Angle | The clutch or brake axis is perpendicular to the axis of the load. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted shaft alignments. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
| Drive / Load Connection | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| In-line Shafts | The drive and the load have shafts which attach to a through-bore. | ||
| Through Shaft | The drive shaft attaches to a bore and the load is driven through the outer diameter. | ||
| Shaft - Pulley / Gear / Sprocket | The drive shaft attaches to a bore and the output is a drive component such as a pulley, gear, or sprocket. These clutches are often designed to accept different drive components. | ||
| Flange | The brake or clutch is mounted to the object in motion via a flange. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted direct shaft attachments or flange mountings. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
| Bore Diameter | The bore diameter. | ||
