Motor Brakes for Frequent Start/Stop Cycles



The MagnaShear motor brake from Force Control Industries employ oil shear technology, providing longer service life even in demanding applications like the frequent start/stop cycles seen on cranes, lifts, hoists and other overhead material handling equipment, according to the company.

"Oil shear technology transmits torque between lubricated surfaces, thereby eliminating wear on friction surfaces," said a company spokesperson. "A patented fluid recirculation system eliminates heat build-up, which is the most common problem in dry braking systems. Elimination of wear increases service life and virtually eliminates adjustment, which also elongates maintenance intervals. They are ideal for applications where the motor is reversed each cycle, such as cranes, lifts, hoists and other ancillary overhead handling equipment."

The oil shear technology also provides a smooth "cushioned" stop, which reduces shock to the drive system, further extending service life of downstream components.

The totally enclosed MagnaShear brakes are impervious to moisture, dirt and dust.

Spring set torque ratings from 3 ft-lbs. to 1,250 ft-lbs. are available. MagnaShear motor brakes can be sized to the correct torque independent of the motor frame size or horsepower.
