Linear Guide Rail Brakes for Profile Guide Rails

Linear Guide Rail Brakes

Nexen's new generation of linear braking/locking devices virtually eliminates backlash. With superior performance, these spring-engaged, air-released units supplement the drive system for stopping and holding in power-off / e-stop situations. High clamping force and extended engagement capabilities ensure positive holding with minimal air required for release. Choose from our standard products, or we will customize to meet your specific application requirements.

Features include:

  • Models to fit most profile guide rail systems
  • Low backlash
  • Release pressure: 5.5 bar [80 psi]
  • Field serviceable facings
  • Air-enhanced braking force
  • Front profile and mounting holes match bearing carriage
