| Stearns offers the most comprehensive line of
solenoid actuated brakes (SABs) on the market today. We have earned the
reputation as the industry's quality leader by working closely with you, our
customers, understanding your needs and developing products with design
features to handle your most challenging applications. We have installed
millions of Stearns brakes worldwide since 1935. Many brakes operating today
are 40 years old or more; evidence of our product quality and
reliability. Stearns electric motor brakes can be mounted directly to an electric
motor or foot mounted. The compact design delivers high torque in a small
size with fast, positive response and no residual drag when released. Our
brakes can be mounted directly onto NEMA C-face electric motor without special
alignment procedures. Many electric motor manufacturers offer a brake kit which will
convert a stock fan-cooled motor into a brake motor. Stearns Solenoid
Actuated Brakes feature unitized construction which makes servicing friction
discs easy using only a screwdriver and wrench. The Stearns SAB ensures
automatic stopping and holding any time power to the brake is interrupted.
And, as with ALL Stearns products, the friction material is non-asbestos. We
can produce a brake which meets your specifications, including metric
mounting. Chances are, we've already manufactured similar requirements from
a long list of pre-engineered options. |
Self-Adjusting Disc Brakes Remote
inaccessible locations or high cycling applications require a specially
designed, low-maintenance brake that will operate at peak efficiency and
provide uniform braking for long periods of time. Stearns exclusive
self-adjusting feature helps eliminate the major cause of brake maintenance
- friction lining wear. Self-adjusting brakes are also well suited for
applications where rapid cycling requires frequent resetting of solenoid air
gap. Automatic adjustment also eliminates the errors that can occur with
hand adjustment. They can be easily modified to suit your particular
application. Depending upon the series you select, these brakes an be direct
mounted on motors ranging in size from NEMA 182TC through NEMA 505C. |
Manually adjusted Disc Brakes with Automatic
Reset. Its an unbeatable combination; the features you want most in
spring-set disc brakes. Standard features now include: a unique spring
design which allows for universal mounting, an air gap adjustment gauge for
visual recognition that the brake needs adjustment, a new patented hub
design, and genuine Stearns friction discs which are trademarked and
patented. The 56 Series Brakes come in static torque ratings from 1.5
through 25 lb-ft with NEMA C-face mountings 56C, 143TC, 145TC, 182TFC and
184TFC. Ten different housing, endplate, and release configurations, with a
wide variety of pre-engineered modifications, you can select from 120,000
possible combinations! In addition, for holding applications where friction
disc wear is not a factor, Stearns 87,000 Series Brakes are available with
an optional manual adjust. The 87,000 Series Brakes are available in static
torque ratings from 6 lb-ft through 105 lb-ft, with NEMA C-face mountings,
182TC through 286TC. |
