Jaw Air / Hydraulic / Pneumatic Brake Units (AFJ)

Carlyle Johnson's Jaw Air / Hydraulic / Pneumatic Brake units are designed to optimize space in your application. They are ideally-suited for positioning and holding, as well as indexing, and are often used in applications that require a positive registration between an input shaft and output shaft to be maintained.

With fast disengagement, even after extended periods of engagement, this air / hydraulic / pneumatic brake does not transmit torque when disengaged, offering a drag-free neutral.

Carlyle Johnson's standard AFJ model pneumatic brake can be modified to meet your needs.

Our engineering staff can also custom design, develop and produce a new pneumatic brake unit to meet your specific requirements. For over 100 years CJM has met even the toughest challenges for unique power transmission products.

Units with spring-set and pneumatic-release can be requested, and single- or multiple-position registration can be utilized for functions that require specific timing. In additional, pneumatic brake units with continuous rotor connections can be requested.
