Nexen Group, Inc. introduces Profile Guide Rail Brakes, Generation II. With the addition of two new models, the range of sizes has increased to 15 mm to 65 mm. Nexen’s Generation II Rail Brakes provide fast engagement at 0.049 to 0.230 seconds, higher static holding force to 3,400 N (764 lbs.) and can be combined to provide even higher holding forces as needed. They offer maintenance-free operation and are fully compatible with all 16 major rail manufacturers including Lintec, NB PMI Rockford and SBC Rail, making them an ideal redundant, spring set braking system for a wide range of OEM and after market applications.
Benefits of Nexen’s Profile Rail Brakes, Generation II, include:
Highest spring engaged / air released holding force on the market
Provides stiffness and eliminates vibration in linear drives
Brake geometry is similar to linear bearing cassettes for easy installation
Field serviceable friction facing replacement
Ideal for power-off, e-stop and holding applications
Low backlash for accurate position holding
Large clearance between brake and rail compensates for installation misalignment
No lubrication or periodic maintenance required
Models available to fit most common profile guide rails
Large friction facing contact area for consistent performance and low rail wear
