MenuHigh Torque, Spring Applied Brakes (HTB Brakes)
Model HTB multiple disc, spring applied brakes are designed to be a cost effective solution when especially high torque is required in an extremely small package.
The high-torque electric brake is released (disengaged) when power is applied to the brake coil. Braking torque is applied when the power to the brake coil is removed.
Common HTB spring applied brake applications include medical imaging head positioning, stopping and holding in mechanized handling equipment, servo drive brakes and emergency stopping brakes for radar, aerospace, military, construction and commercial utilities.
As with all Carlyle Johnson Machine Co products, we can custom design and manufacture high-torque, spring applied brakes to meet your exact needs.
Features of HTB Brakes - Spring Applied Brakes
CJM's HTB spring applied brakes utilize a modular design, with optional debris cover and/or manual release, to provides an "off the shelf" solution to your braking needs. These brake components operate with minimal power consumption to disengage the brake, which reduces engagement/disengagement times and lowers drag torque.
While custom solutions are available, our HTB brakes provide extremely fast engagement/disengagement times when used in conjunction with a standard Carlyle Johnson Model CEC power supply. Other spring applied brakes and high torque solutions can be produced – our engineering staff is just a phone call away and ready to solve your toughest power transmission challenge.
