MagnaShear brakes run cool, eliminate fire hazard
The MagnaShear motor brake from Force Control Industries utilizes oil shear technology to transmit torque between lubricated surfaces. This innovation eliminates heat build-up associated with dry brakes, a significant cause of conveyor fires. A patented fluid recirculation system, noted the manufacturer, dissipates the heat and keeps the brakes running cool. In addition to being safer, the OEM said that oil…
