Brake Provides Torque Control

Positorq oil shear tension control brakes provide simple, precise torque control over the entire speed range, even down to 0 rpm.  Operational speeds are precisely controlled without chatter, stick slip or torque variation, which eliminates marking during leveling, polishing and coating.  Torque is controlled by pneumatic or hydraulic actuation pressure and is independent of speed. Sizes range from 53 Lb. Ft. up to 300,000 Lb. Ft., with continuous heat absorption capability up to 3000 thermal horsepower.

Oil Shear technology eliminates normal maintenance and adjustment, allows smooth operation, and lasts up to 10-times longer than standard dry friction brakes, making them ideal for many industrial applications.
