The MagnaShear motor brake from Force Control Industries (Fairfield, OH) employs oil shear technology, providing longer service life even in demanding applications like the frequent start/stop cycles seen on conveyors, bucket elevators and other types of bulk materials handling equipment. Proven oil shear technology transmits torque between lubricated surfaces – thereby eliminating wear on friction surfaces. A patented fluid recirculation system dissipates heat – eliminating heat build-up which is the most common problem in dry braking systems. Elimination of the wear significantly increases service life and virtually eliminates adjustment which also elongates maintenance intervals.
