High thermal capacity from tension control brake
The new BTB-12 Tension Control Brake provides easy installation and maintenance, and is ideal for corrugating, labeling, printing, and various other web tension control applications
Air engaged brakes operate cooler than electrically actuated brakes which means higher dynamic torque, more thermal capacity, longer friction facing life, and less energy consumption.
The high torque capacity of this brake enables it to handle up to 100 HP motors at 1800 rpm ensuring fast load response.
The tapered bore design accepts QD Bushings allowing for shaft size versatility and mounting flexibility.
The brakes' single plate, finned friction discs provide high heat dissipation.
Both a torque pin slot in the brake housing and the holes in the flange can be used to prevent unit rotation.
Self-adjusting, integral springs maintain the proper interface gap.
Designed with ease of maintenance in mind, the simple brake assembly contains only five major components, and the split friction facing is easily replaced without removal or disassembly.
The Nexen Tapered-Bore Friction Brake is suited for industrial applications including material handling, converting, presses, and conveyor systems.
