Used to stop non-powered/ gravity rollers from spinning. A pneumatically activated steel channel with a high friction top surface presses against the bottom of a series of non-powered conveyor rollers to prevent them from turning. When air pressure (60PSI or more) is sent to the brake, the brake releases from the rollers. Removing that air pressure allows the spring to return the brake channel against the bottom of the rollers. Brake will still stay engaged in the event of air pressure loss. Available in 2’, 3’, & 4’ lengths for 1.9” diameter non-powered roller conveyors.
BETWEEN FRAMES: 6″ – 51″
ROLLER CENTERS: 2″, 3″, 4″
ROLLERS: 1916 Roller – 16ga wall tube. 1912 Roller – 12ga wall tube. 1909 Roller – 9ga wall tube. All rollers 1.9″ dia with 7/16″ hex cold rolled steel axels, spring retained. Standard bearings are light oil lubricated. Optional bearings include combinations of precision, semi-precision and non precision construction with light oil or greased packed lubrication.
MOUNTING: Escapement frame mounts to the 7/16″ hex holes of the conveyor frame.
OPERATION: Extending the cylinders engages the escapement stop.
