Johnson Type CU DC Magnetic Disc Brakes

The Johnson Type CU DC Magnetic Disc Brakes are a versatile and robust solution for a wide range of industrial applications. Available in 11 distinct models, these foot-mounted brake units are constructed with a durable fabricated steel mechanism and come with separate enclosed control units suitable for both DC and AC supplies. They are ideal for use in mechanical handling equipment, cranes, winches, conveyors, and mills, providing reliable emergency stopping power, often installed on the flange of crane winding drums.

Engineered for high performance, the Johnson magnetic disc brakes offer a variety of options to meet specific operational needs. These include a self-adjusting device to compensate for brake lining wear, special materials and finishes, limit switches for monitoring release or wear, and high integrity requirements for industries such as nuclear. This adaptability ensures that the brakes can be tailored to suit the most demanding environments.

The magnetic actuator of the Johnson Type CU DC Magnetic Disc Brakes is a short stroke DC tractive type, featuring an encapsulated coil and a screw-off release nut with an optional switch. The all-fabricated steel construction ensures durability, while the resin encapsulated coil with Class F insulation provides reliable performance. The actuator is 100% continuously rated up to 40°C ambient, with an air gap dust and drip protected by a neoprene gaiter, and a terminal box with an IP55 enclosure for added protection.

Each model in the Johnson Type CU range offers specific features to cater to different operational requirements. For instance, the CU01 model has a disc diameter range of 250-400 mm and an applied force of 3.6 kN, while the CX90 model boasts a disc diameter range of 960-1500 mm and an impressive applied force of 225 kN. This range of specifications ensures that there is a Johnson brake model suitable for virtually any application, providing the necessary stopping power and reliability.

For those requiring custom solutions, the Johnson Type CU DC Magnetic Disc Brakes can be tailored with special materials, tests, and finishes as needed. Whether you are dealing with standard industrial applications or require high integrity solutions for critical environments, these brakes offer the flexibility and performance to meet your needs.
