Pneumatic brakes

PT Hydraulics has introduced a line of pneumatic brakes for its Globe Vane Air Motors. Globe BN brakes are claimed to be fail-safe brakes (spring engaged, air released). They can be used as a static brake and under certain conditions in dynamic applications.

The brake module bolts directly onto the motor mounting face with an IEC or NEMA connection flange. The brakes are certified according to the European Explosive Directive ATEX II cat 2 G&D T3 (in static applications only).

The advantages of the brakes include: brake can be used in dynamic applications; field serviceable; easy flange connection according to IEC and NEMA standards; low maintenance because very few parts are exposed to wear; compact design; easily interchangeable because of independent brake module; cast-iron housing and good thermal capacity for use in harsh environments; long life; and certified according to the European Explosive Directive ATEX II cat 2 G&D T3.
