Coupler brakes offer the advantage of placing the brake between the motor and gear reducer eliminating the need for a special expensive, hard to get motor with motor mounting flange and extended shaft. Use a commonly available C Face motor. The Posistop Coupler Brake works well in this arrangement because the brake is as reliable as the motor, and never needs adjustment.

The Posistop X Class Coupler brakes are often used for hazardous duty applications coupled up with air motors. Applications include hazardous locations in grain, sugar, marine, and oil and gas wells.

The Posistop® X Class Oil Shear Coupler Brakes are designed and tested to operate over 20 million trouble free cycles with only occasional oil changes and no adjustment - ever! This is a true dynamic stopping brake, not just a holding brake.

This unheard of life expectancy allows the Posistop® X Class Motor and Coupler Brakes to be used on applications previously thought impossible to do using a brake.
