The Gemco / Ametek Solenoid Drum Brakes are engineered for reliability and efficiency, making them an essential component for your industrial braking needs. These brakes are spring set and electrically released, ensuring that they engage when power is removed from the solenoid assembly. With the capability to be powered by 115 VAC through 575 VAC, single phase, they offer versatility and adaptability for various applications. Available in brake wheel diameters ranging from 4 1/2" to 10", these brakes are designed to provide extended, trouble-free service.

Designed with AC solenoid operation, the Gemco / Ametek Solenoid Drum Brakes feature a spring-applied, electrically released brake system that delivers torque ranging from 10 to 160 lbs./ft. The brakes are equipped with single-phase, 60 Hertz coils and are constructed with asbestos-free brake linings, ensuring safety and environmental compliance. These features make them a reliable choice for industries seeking durable and efficient braking solutions.

In addition to their robust design, these brakes offer customizable options such as enclosures and epoxy coatings, allowing you to tailor them to your specific needs. The CB AC Brakes variant stands out with its simple, clean, and reliable design, boasting the fewest parts of any AC brake on the market today. The rugged solenoid has been tested in over two million operational cycles without electrical failure, ensuring long-lasting performance.

A unique feature of the CB AC Brakes is the solenoid plunger travel indicator, which provides a visual cue for when the brake needs adjustment due to lining wear. This eliminates the need for a separate hand release, as the brake can be easily released with light hand pressure on the solenoid arm. With a straightforward one-point torque adjustment and two-point adjustment for lining wear, maintenance is simplified, making these brakes a practical and efficient choice for your operations.
