Electric Brakes
MTB Series – Modular Tension Brakes

One of the keys to the Warner Electric
tensioning system is the Electro Disc
tension brake. Electro Disc brake systems are capable of continuous slip
from full roll to core diameter while providing outstandingly consistent and
accurate control of unwind tension
throughout the process. Electro Disc
brakes operate smoothly and quietly.
They respond instantly for emergency
stops. Wear life is remarkable.
Electronic control systems are easily
interfaced with Warner Electric controls.
Selection of the right brake for virtually
any web processing application, from
film to boxboard, is made possible
through a building-block modular
design.

Four armature sizes

Simple Maintenance
Rugged design eliminates most moving
parts. No diaphragms to break down.
Asbestos-free brake pads are quickly
and easily replaced. Brake wear does
not affect torque as with some other
types of brakes.

Easy Installation
Electro Disc tension brakes fit within
tight space restrictions. Bushings adapt
to most standard and metric shafts.
Electrical installation replaces complex
pneumatic plumbing, valves and compressors.

Long Life, High Heat Dissipation
A replaceable face armature disc provides extremely long life and maximum
heat dissipation. Standard armature
discs can be mounted singly or in tandem as shown here to increase the
heat dissipation and torque capability.

Accurate, Consistent Control
The responsiveness of electric brakes
coupled with specially designed controls provides accurate tensioning from
beginning to end of roll, even during
emergency stops and flying splices.

Brake Modularity
With one to sixteen magnets and single
or double armature discs, Electro Disc
tension brakes offer torque control and
continuous slip capacity to meet a
broad spectrum of requirements for virtually any web processing application.

Patented Design
The patented Electro Disc design is a
proven concept, featuring a simple, yet
powerful tension brake … easy-to-control, smooth, quiet and accurate. The
speed of response and controllability,
especially near zero tension, far
exceeds that of other braking
technologies.

Simple. Powerful. Controllable.
The electromagnetic principle, as
applied to the Electro Disc tension
brake, results in a brake design that
features outstanding control from zero
torque to the maximum limits of the
brake. Complex moving parts are
eliminated.

Smooth Operation with
Minimal Maintenance
The friction pads are made of a unique
composite of asbestos-free friction
materials specially designed to produce smooth, powerful, yet quiet engagement between the magnet and
armature discs. Since the replaceable
friction pads and armature disc are the
only parts which receive regular wear,
the electromagnets can be reused
indefinitely. An indicator notch on the
friction pad, as well as an optional
electric wear indicator, makes routine
checking for remaining wear life quick
and easy.
