Cranes, emergency stop equipment, and packaging machines all require optimal precision, durability, and performance in their braking systems. At the same time, ample installation space is often a luxury. Sacrificing performance to squeeze a brake into the available space can cause breakdowns, impacting operations and driving up costs.
Instead, consider the HBB series of medium torque, spring-applied brakes. These components deliver moderate torque in a low-cost, compact package for high-performance applications with tight installation spaces.
Drag-minimized Design
In an electric brake, the HBB disengages when the brake coil is powered and applies torque when power is removed. It features bronze friction discs that are suitable for wet or dry conditions, consistently transmitting torque over time. A unique separator spring design ensures the friction discs remain separated while the brake is disengaged. This design also eliminates parasitic drag, extending brake life and significantly improving overall thermal capacity.
The HBB brake is ideal for stopping, holding, and positioning tasks in precision applications with tight installation spaces. Examples include medical diagnostic equipment, radar antennas, and aerospace and defense actuators.
Easily Modify Your Brake
Thanks to its modular design, the HBB enables us to easily customize a unit to meet your exact needs. Common customizations include different voltages, manual brake releases, brake pad wear indicator, integrated heater, and a sealed cover for protection.
Other features of the HBB include:
Cost-effectiveness
Compact form factor
Slide-on configurations
Bronze-on-steel friction brake discs
Torques from 5 to 5,000 pound-feet
Extremely low drag
Minimal power consumption requirements
