Clutch-brake keeps conveyors in check
The Air LSCB-44HT is a through-shaft air-to-spring clutch-brake that is ideal for starting and stopping the roller shaft on chain-driven accumulating conveyors.
Roller pinion system is alternative to ballscrew
The RPS precision roller pinion system converts rotary motion into very precise, backlash-free linear motion, while quietly operating at high speeds over long distances.
Calliper brake will not fade with time
Nexen Group is introducing its new Air Champ VC500 calliper brake that gives zero reduction in brake torque over the life of the friction facings due the rear amplifier linkage design.
The splined hub design of the LSCB-44 assures full brake torque to the system.
Both clutching and braking components use the same piston, which eliminates simultaneous engagement.
The clutch release springs also serve as the brake engagement force, the brake automatically engages as the clutch releases for fast, dependable stopping and holding.
The key features and benefits of the LSCB-44 include: low cost compared with competing clutch-brakes; variable mounting configurations; brake torque 6.3Nm at zero air pressure; clutch torque 238Nm at 5.5bar; compact size of 115.8mm diameter by 130.6mm long; bore range 12-32mm; open design for improved airflow and high heat dissipation; internal spline drive for trouble-free disengagement performance; no rotary air union required; through-shaft design with three set screws for easy mounting; and field repairable O-rings, facings and springs.
Nexen's LSCB-44 clutch-brake is ideal for starting and stopping the roller shaft on chain driven, accumulating conveyors.
Its simple design, outstanding performance and low cost makes this a superior choice for motion control on all material handling conveyor systems.
