  • Mechanical Brakes-Image
    Mechanical Brakes - (172 companies)
    Mechanical brakes convert kinetic energy to other energy forms, primarily heat. They decelerate shafts and linked components via friction between a rotating body and wear-resistant material. Mechanical brakes arrest the energy of a machine or object...

  • Mechanical Brake and Clutch Assemblies-Image
    Mechanical Brake and Clutch Assemblies - (45 companies)
    Mechanical brake and clutch assemblies consist of elements for both the connection and disconnection of shafts (clutch) and for the slowing or stopping of shafts (brake) in equipment drives. In the world of power transmission, mechanical brake...

    Electric Brakes - (217 companies)
    ...or hold a load when electrical power is either accidentally lost or intentionally disconnected. They are sometimes called "fail safe" brakes and use a permanent magnet to attract a single face armature. As the brake is engaged, the magnets create magnetic...
  • Load Cells-Image
    Load Cells - (405 companies)
    Load cells are force sensors that often incorporate mechanical packaging to fit into testing and monitoring systems. They can be used for tension, compression, and/or shear measurement, and can be configured to measure force or load along one...
  •  
    Mechanical Clutches - (173 companies)
    Mechanical clutches are assemblies consisting of elements for the connection and disconnection of shafts (clutch) in equipment drives. Mechanical clutches are the simplest mode of clutch actuation and often the least expensive. Mechanical clutches...
  •  
    Hydraulic Brakes - (145 companies)
    How to Select Hydraulic Brakes. Hydraulic brakes use a fluid to transfer pressure and actuate the braking mechanism. Product types differ in terms of engagement, operation, and performance. Performance specifications include power, speed, torque...
  •  
    Pneumatic Brakes - (120 companies)
    Pneumatic brakes are assemblies consisting of elements for the slowing or stopping of shafts in equipment drives. Air is required to activate the brake. Pneumatic brakes, or air brakes or compressed air brakes, use compressed air generated...

    Pneumatic Brake and Clutch Assemblies - (51 companies)
    ...or perpendicular (right angle) to the axis. Drive and load connections for hydraulic brake and clutch assemblies can use shafts that attach to bores or flanges. With some drive shafts that attach to a bore, the output is a drive component...
  •  
    Electric Brake and Clutch Assemblies - (101 companies)
    ...components that consist of electric brakes for slowing or stopping shafts and electric clutches for connecting or disconnecting shafts. Battery-powered load cells apply voltage signals to a web and compare the resulting web tension to a tension set...
