Mistral Brake System Overview

The Mistral brake is a compact, high-performance roller bracket brake designed for the corrugated and paper processing industries. It has been developed through extensive design and market consultation to meet current and future performance requirements.

Technical Specifications

• Models include 200/2/LC/HRD, 200/4/LC/HRD, 200/6/LC/HRD, 200/2/LC/MRD, 200/4/LC/MRD, 200/6/LC/MRD, and 280 series.
• Key dimensions (in mm) for 200 series: A=295, B=260, C=220, with mounting holes M12 and specific tolerances (H7).
• 280 series dimensions: A=410, B=355, with M16 mounting holes.
• Operating voltages: 220VAC, 110VAC, and 24VDC options with corresponding connectors (M16, PG9, NPT).
• Torque values correspond to full airbag usage at 0.2 bar pressure; torque is zero at zero air pressure.

Design Features

• Equipped with a high-performance, low-energy cooling fan inside the brake to ensure efficient heat dissipation, critical for maintaining controlled tension at high line speeds.
• Modular diaphragm-type airbags allow precise torque adjustment for optimal tension control.
• Front cover removal is facilitated by three hex screws, enabling easy maintenance and automatic disconnection of air and power supply.
• Mounting options include a three-bolt fixing system for installation on pay-off stands or direct insertion into machine slots.
