BRAKETRONIC® SYSTEMS “Brake By Wire” Hydraulic brake systems tend to leak and create maintenance and environmental issues. Magnetek’s Braketronic System is the solution! Used on the traverse motions of your overhead crane, the Braketronic package allows for the removal of the entire hydraulic brake system and replaces it with state-of-the-art “brake by wire” technology. With the Magnetek Braketronic Controller, single or multiple Mondel thruster operated brakes can be proportionally controlled by a foot pedal, master switch, radio control, or selectively from either one. Magnetek’s Braketronic Controller provides adjustable torque control to the Mondel thruster operated shoe or disc brakes and also provides fail-safe emergency braking. When a foot pedal is not required, the controller can also be congured to gradually apply the brakes by using a pre-programmed ramping sequence that is initiated by the use of a single-step control device such as a master switch or radio control. The Braketronic Controller is ideal for new applications or replacement of existing hydraulic brake systems.
