Existing magnetic particles brakes may create excessive tension, limiting the materials that can be run and limiting the ability to run unwind rolls all the way down to the core.
Even with ZERO volts applied to the brake there is still substantial friction on the unwind. To eliminate residual friction, while increasing tension control, precision and material versatility, Montalvo C Series Tension Brakes are used to easily replace the existing brake.
- Remove existing mag particle brake, belt, shaft wheel & hub
- Drill & tap module standoffs, then mount brake and modules
- Install I/P Converter, plumb brake and connect air supply
*Note: on MA-2200, hold back brake will also need to be disengaged
Results

- Precise Tension Control
Montalvo brakes give you more precise control, producing the exact tension you application demands. - Wider Torque Range
Increase the capabilities of your press by being able to run a greater variety of materials while achieving precise tension control. - Greater Heat Dissipation
Extends the service life of your pads, your brake, and your application.
- Increased Line Speed
Achieve even greater productivity.
- Decreased Maintenance Time
