Force Control’s MagnaShear motor brake handles frequent start/stop cycles on conveyors

The MagnaShear™ motor brake from Force Control Industries employs oil shear technology, which the company says helps provide longer service life in demanding applications such as frequent start/stop cycles on conveyors and critical holding applications.

Oil shear technology transmits torque between lubricated surfaces to help eliminate wear on friction surfaces and nearly eliminate adjustment. It also provides a smooth, cushioned stop that reduces shock to the drive system. A patented fluid recirculation system dissipates heat, eliminating heat buildup.
