LINEAR MOTION CONTROL

Technical Data Sheet

Profile Rail Brake

Fits 15, 20, 30, 25, 35, and 45 mm Profile Guide Rails

Nexen’s RB Series of linear profile guide rail brakes uses spring force to secure the load in holding applications. Superior response time and high force for stopping and holding in e- stop and power-off situations. Each RB brake clamps directly onto the center of the guide rail to provide positive braking and holding in all axes. These profile rail brakes hold position accurately by eliminating drive train backlash and elasticity. Nexen’s RB Series is engineered for dependable performance. With a revolutionary set of patent pending features, the RB Series provides an industry leading braking solution for linear profile guide rails. If personnel safety is required, an unrelated, redundant safety system is recommended.

• Highest air released holding force on the market • Spring engaged, air released for power-off, e-stop and holding applications • Configurations to fit most profile guide rails - (Hiwin, NSK, SKF, IKO, INA, Star, THK) • Brake geometry is similar to system bearing cassettes for easy installation • Low backlash for accurate position holding • Adjustable facing gap for optimum brake performance • Field servicable friction facing replacement • Large friction facing contact area • No lubrication or periodic maintenance required • Provides stiffness and eliminates vibration in linear drives
