Motor Brakes
Force Control
Industries
introduced its
MagnaShear
motor brakes
for applica-
tions where
the motor is
stopped, or
reversed,
each cycle. According to the company, the
component provides maintenance-free
braking for frequent start/stop applications.
With spring set torque ratings from 3 to
1250 foot-pounds, the motor brake line
can be sized to the correct torque value
independent of the motor frame size or
horsepower. The line features a “quick
mount” feature for mounting to drive
motors in NEMA frame sizes 56 to 449 or
some IEC frame motors. Enclosed from
outside contaminants, MagnaShear motor
brakes can be furnished as a complete
motor and brake assembly (assembled
brake motor) or to mount on a machine
frame. Hazardous duty units for class II,
Group a, b, c, d, e and f are also available,
as well as low temperature or arctic duty
down to -40 degrees.

Industrial Gear Units
NORD unveiled its MAXXDRIVE XT, a series
of industrial gear units that achieve high
thermal ratings, the company says, due to
its increased surface design and optimized
fan. Available in seven sizes, the series offers
a power range of 67 to 2,000 hp with speed
ratios of 6.3 to 22.4. Output torque ranges
from 132,000 to 660,000 lb-in. The power
and speed range were specifically designed
for industries in which high speed ranges
are required in combination with high pow-
ers. The gear units are suited for conveyor
belt systems, especially continuous industrial
conveying and bulk material handling appli-
cations.
