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 can be direct mounted on motors ranging in size from NEMA 182TC through NEMA 505C.
