Nexen BD caliper brakes offer higher clamping force
Nexen Group, Inc. offers three models of BD (brute disk) caliper brakes; air actuated, spring actuated/air released, and spring actuated/hydraulically released. The innovative BD design uses arms to provide a mechanical advantage, allowing higher clamping force. (Stopping power can be multiplied by installing additional caliper brakes on each disc.) Torque ranges from 8,000 to 23,000 […]
Nexen introduces compact precision ring-drive system
Nexen Group now sells a Compact Ring Drive (CRD) system with precision grade bearing and drive mechanism in a sealed housing. Freely programmable, the three-drive design configurations allow the CRD to be optimized for high speed, high torque or both, depending on the application. With a 250 or 350 mm dial plate bolt circle diameter and a […]
NEXEN Eclipse servomotor brakes deliver significant advantages
Nexen Group’s Eclipse Servomotor Brakes offer distinct advantages over spring-engaged, electrically-released brakes. With Nexen’s servo motor brake, no energy is consumed when the brake is disengaged. (Electrically-released brakes consume power continuously, even in disengaged mode, creating heat inside the brake, which detracts from its ability to produce full torque.) It is spring-engaged/air-released (no electric coil) […]
Growing trend: More application-specific clutches and brakes
Clutches and brakes are a mainstay in motion designs that need to stop, hold, or index loads. Especially over the last five years, a technology trend towards application-specific designs has quickened as several industries are pushing the performance envelope of stock components. So, we recently asked six industry experts for comments on this and other […]
Nexen Expands Line of High-Torque Servo Motor Brakes
Nexen Group, Inc. has launched an expansion of their Eclipse® line to offer more than 140 variations of spring-engaged, air-released servo motor brakes for a wider range of servo motors. Eclipse brakes offer four times the torque of internal servo motor brakes, and offer at least 20-50% more torque than competitive brakes, providing greatly enhanced […]
Nexen Spring-Engaged Brakes Offer High-Torque Stopping
With torque capacities that range from 9,000 to 164,800 inch-pounds, Nexen’s dual faced brakes (DFB) and quad faced brakes (QFB) are designed for heavy-duty industrial power-off applications that require high torque and low inertia. These high-capacity, spring-engaged brakes are intended for applications such as conveyors, punch presses, shears, mills, rock crushers and similar equipment. The […]
