Instead of being stationary with the output hub, the MDB series brakes have been redesigned to permit the friction discs to rotate with the rotor. Along with a new spring release mechanism, this design change allows the friction and pressure plates to release approximately twice as fast as previous models. They provide easy installation by sliding user-supplied keyed shafts through the gear boxes. Each added shaft is supported by sealed ball bearings, making them suitable for high speed operation.
Standard sizes are available.
The incremental optical encoders have an environmentally-sealed cast aluminum housing. Electrical outputs are compatible with almost all drives and PLCs. Providing a soft PLC and data server in a single software application, WinMotion does not require motion control cards or proprietary hardware to provide continuous maintenance, production and quality information in real-time. Running Windows NT with RTX from a single processor on a standard PC, it includes an open, published API which allows users to rapidly integrate third-party technologies.
