Types of Industrial Brakes

There are many approaches that may be taken when designing and implementing industrial brake systems. Depending on the industry and the demands of the application, some industrial brakes progress better than others in certain types of situations. Making an imperfect decision now can lead to unnecessary replacement costs and manufacturing downtime later. This makes it important to select the correct component the first time.

When your team works with our team, you can be sure that we will do our very best to supply you with the perfect components for your applications and industry. Additionally, your business isn't just a sale to us; rather, we develop relationships with our customers and take note of any specific concerns or needs you raise. We are proud to support American manufacturers and industry, and look forward to working with you.

Our selection of brake systems encompasses a variety of different applications. Some broad brake styles include: air cooled; constricting; expanding; multiple disc; oil cooled multiple disc; magnetic multiple disc; combination disc; caliper disc; spring applied; and water cooled brakes. Among these categories, there are many sub-types and sizes available to provide an perfect fit for your specific situation.

Applications of Water Cooled Brakes

Industrial applications that necessitate the absorption of large amounts of horsepower, where generated heat becomes an extensive factor, requiring specially designed brakes. Eaton manufactures water cooled brakes with copper alloy plates for heat dissipation that excel in such situations. These have been used successfully in marine mooring systems, cable tension control in logging equipment, slip clutches, dynamometers, and paper and metal unwind stands. Whatever type of industrial brakes your situation demands, you can be certain Applied Power Solutions has the components you need.
