MagnaShear motor brakes from Force Control Industries, which provide a secure, no-maintenance, no-adjustment, holding brake solution for mining conveyor applications, are ideal for when the motor is stopped, or reversed each cycle such as loaders\/unloaders, conveyors, rail car spotters and dumpers, overland and internal tripper cars, rotary coal sweep samplers and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

These motor brakes are available to accommodate a wide range of applications. Spring set torque ratings from three to 1,250 ft.-lbs. are available. The MagnaShear motor brakes can be sized to the correct torque value independent of the motor frame size or horsepower by changing the combination of springs and friction discs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MagnaShear motor brakes feature a \u201cquick mount\u201d feature for quick and easy mounting to drive motors in NEMA frame sizes 56 to 449 or some IEC frame motors. They are shipped ready to install, with no assembly or adjustments required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MagnaShear motor brakes can be furnished as a complete motor and brake assembly (assembled brake motor), or to mount on a machine frame or other special mounting configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These proven motor brakes are totally enclosed from outside contaminants, with seal integrity for harsh and washdown environments. A modular design \/assembly allows for ease of servicing and maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hazardous duty units for class II, Group a, b, c, d, e and f are also available, as well as low temperature or Artic duty down to -40 degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The totally enclosed MagnaShear motor brakes are impervious to moisture, dirt and dust that is common in mining applications, as well as concrete block plants, asphalt shingle manufacturing, bulk material handling, forest products manufacturing and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike dry brakes, oil shear technology includes a film of transmission fluid between the brake disc and the drive plate. As the fluid is compressed, the fluid molecules are put in shear \u2013 thus, imparting torque to the other side. This torque transmission causes the rotating surface to come to a stop. Since most of the work is done by the fluid particles in shear, wear is virtually eliminated. Elimination of wear enables MagnaShear brakes to last significantly longer, while also eliminating the need for maintenance and adjustments which are common for dry braking systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to transmitting torque, a patented fluid recirculation system helps to dissipate heat which causes friction disc wear and eventual failure in traditional dry brakes. Along with heat removal and torque transmission, the fluid serves to continually lubricate all components of the oil shear brake, increasing their service life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The oil shear technology also provides a smooth \u201ccushioned\u201d stop which reduces shock to the drive system, further extending service life of downstream components.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
