Rail Brake System:
Nexen’s RB Series of linear profile guide rail brakes use spring force to secure the load in holding applications. Superior response time and high force for stopping and holding in e-stop and power-off situations. Each RB brake clamps directly onto the center of the guide rail to provide positive braking and holding in all axes, with no effect on bearing surfaces. These profile rail brakes hold position accurately by reducing drive train backlash and elasticity.
Nexen’s RB Series is engineered for dependable performance. With a revolutionary set of patented features, the RB Series provides an industry leading braking solution for linear profile guide rails. If personnel safety is required, an unrelated, redundant safety system is recommended.
Rail Brake System
- Ideal for power-off, e-stop & holding applications.
- Large friction facing contact area for consistent performance & low rail wear
- Field serviceable friction facing replacement
- No lubrication or periodic maintenance required
- Low backlash for accurate position holding
- Provides stiffness & eliminates vibration in linear drives
