|
GEMCO brand of industrial brakes have been overcoming, stopping, and
holding loads for over 50 years. Our brakes are well known across many
industries as being rugged, reliable, easy to service, and readily available.
Our Electro-Thrust style, and Magnetic shoe brakes are AISE rated for steel
mill duty service. Along with those brakes we also manufacture a full line of
straight hydraulic or air-over-hydraulic systems for applications like those
found on a large overhead traveling crane.

Electro-Thrust Shoe Brakes (ET)
The Electro-Thrust Shoe Brakes have been in service for over 10 years. AISE
sizes range from 8 inches in diameter up to 30 inch diameter wheels. Torque
values range from 100 foot-pounds to 9,000 foot-pounds! We also manufacture a
line of non-AISE rated brakes. The brakes are spring set for fail-safe
operation with an electro-hydraulic actuator that overcomes a setting spring
and releases the brake. The actuator is stroked by means of applying power,
either AC or DC, to an integral motor attached to a twin cavity housing.
The housing is filled with fluid and as the motor spins it creates fluid
motion. As the fluid travels through the housing it applies upward
pressure to a piston that overcomes the setting spring to release the brake.
Cutting power to the motor reverses this function and the spring then gently sets the brake.

Magnetic DC Shoe Brakes (TM)
The magnetic DC shoe brakes are spring set and electrically released. The
brake is set when 230 VDC power is removed from the brakes coil(s). The type
TM brakes electrical mechanism consists of one or two DC magnets. As power is
introduced to the coils it creates an electro-magnetic field that brings the
coils together to release the brake. Cutting power to the coils allows the
spring to extend back to its normal state and sets the brake. Shunt or
series coils are available and rated for continuous or intermittent duty
ratings. We also offer single point adjustment on brakes 8 inches in
wheel diameter or larger. This speeds up the brake installation and shoe
lining wear adjustment by a single point adjusting feature.
Brake wheel diameters of 4 1/2" to 30" are available, and are AISE
rated. Rectifiers are available for AC operation.

 |
|
Solenoid AC Shoe Brakes (CB)
The magnetic AC shoe brakes are spring set and electrically released. The
brake is set when power is removed from the brake solenoid assembly. Solenoid
assemblies can be powered by 115 VAC thru 575 VAC, single phase. Brake wheel
diameters ranging from 4 1/2 inches to 10 inches are available.
|
 |
|
Hydraulic Shoe Brakes (H)
The hydraulic shoe brakes are spring released and hydraulically set for
controlled stopping. Applications such as indoor and outdoor bridge cranes
are just some of the examples. These proven high performance brake systems
are tough, reliable and provide trouble free service. Brake wheel sizes
ranging from 6 inches to 18 inches are available. Brakes are available
either with standard hydraulic setting, setting with parking feature or
with air powered hydraulic operation. The powered systems may be direct
or remote controlled. Air remote control, hydraulic remote control, and
electric remote control allow the customer the flexibility to satisfy most
requirements.
