The Electro Shear® Motor Brake Model 8728 is designed for high-performance applications requiring reliable stopping power in demanding industrial environments. It features a maximum torque rating of 464 lb-ft, making it suitable for heavy-duty operations. The brake utilizes oil shear technology, which enhances heat dissipation and significantly extends brake life, reportedly lasting up to ten times longer than standard dry friction brakes. This design minimizes wear on friction discs and reduces the frequency of repairs, contributing to lower life cycle costs. The Electro Shear® brake is particularly effective in high cyclic applications, such as cranes, conveyors, and material handling equipment, where consistent performance is critical. Its encapsulated AC coil technology ensures precise control and quick response times, making it a robust choice for various industrial sectors.
The Electro Shear® 8700 Series Oil Shear Motor Brakes are AC electric released, spring applied, three phase AC electric, multiple disc, oil shear motor brakes that deliver precise control, repeatable stopping power and quick response time in the harshest manufacturing environments. High thermal capacity eliminates machine downtime and decreases overall maintenance and repair costs.
AC Brake Coil Technology For Precise Response and Repeatability
The Electro Shear® is the only oil shear brake with a totally encapsulated electromagnetic AC coil for superior response and accurate repeatability. The patented AC coil is extremely efficient, has low inertia and provides fast response time, typically 10 milliseconds. Electro Shear® delivers precise, smooth stopping power consistently over the life of the brake.
