Electric Brakes for Elevator Modernization

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Hilliard Corporation, established in 1905, specializes in motion control products, industrial engine starters, and filtration equipment. They offer two types of spring-applied, electromagnetically-released brakes for elevator modernization: friction disc plate-style and caliper-style disc brakes, both CSA approved.

Brake Types
Friction Disc Plate-Style Brakes: These brakes are designed for flexibility and durability, releasing electromagnetically when voltage is applied and applying via spring when current is interrupted.
MK Caliper-Style Disc/Rail Brakes: Featuring a floating caliper design, these brakes are compact and easy to install. They are suitable for elevators, conveyors, and cranes, using an electromagnetic coil to reduce current draw and heat.

Modernization Benefits
Precision and Accuracy: The portable Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) ensures high precision, crucial for elevator modernization.
Versatility: The CMM is versatile for reverse engineering and alignment, meeting various customer needs.
Portability: Unlike traditional machines, the portable CMM allows for on-site measurements, reducing downtime.
Efficiency: Real-time data from the CMM enhances decision-making and expedites part delivery without compromising accuracy.

Applications
Shafts and Bearings: Measure for alignment and fit, providing detailed CAD files.
Control Systems: Ensure proper alignment and installation of control panels and brackets.
Motor and Drive Systems: Accurate data collection for motor mounts and drive components ensures efficiency and reliability.

Conclusion
Hilliard's brake systems and portable CMM assessments streamline elevator modernization, ensuring safety standards and operational efficiency.

Electric Brakes for Elevator Modernization-1

Electric Brakes for Elevator Modernization Founded in 1905, The Hilliard Corporation has evolved from a single product business into a special applications engineering company serving customers worldwide. We offer a broad line of motion control products, starters for industrial engines, gas turbines, filter cartridges, oil filtration, and reclaiming equipment used in a variety of industries, all manufactured in Elmira, New York. Hilliard offers its customers two styles of spring-applied, electromagnetically-released brakes that can be easily fitted to "A" frame elevator drives. These brakes are designed to apply when unintended travel of a car occurs. Hilliard offers a friction disc plate-style brake that attaches to the drive shaft of the sheave and a caliper-style disc brake that actuates on a disc attached to the sheave or shaft. These brakes are an alternative to a rope-grabbing brake when performing a modernization job which requires lifting, moving a drive or necessitates extra construction to the elevator. Hilliard offers particular models of these two styles of brakes that meet CSA approval. Friction Disc Plate-Style Brakes Designed for maximum flexibility and long, dependable service, our electric brake is electromagnetically-released when voltage is applied and spring-applied when current is interrupted. MK Caliper-Style Disc / Rail Brakes Our powerful floating caliper design can be used on conventional disc or rail applications. The compact spring-applied design provides easy installation and maintenance. The spring force and air gap can be adjusted to match torque requirements. The patented Hilliard MK Brake is designed for use on elevators, conveyors, cranes, or other devices requiring a spring-applied, electromagnetically-released brake. The brake incorporates an electromagnetic coil that uses a voltage dropping circuit to minimize current draw and heat when the brake is released. Modernization and Reduces Labor Cost
