Unsolved problems with standard air cooled
brakes: The primary function of brakes is the
conversion of mechanical energy into heat, which is then dissipated into the
atmosphere. ¡¥Low heat¡¦ dissipation The energy remains constant while the disc
speed varies. At low speed this produces build up of heat. Problems and/or disadvantages

Main advantages of the Combiflex
System To try to solve the problems encountered by
traditional brakes our highly experienced engineers strived to produce the
perfect heat exchanger. The first step was to design a bi-directional turbine
on the braking element. All the heat is duly transferred The housing, turbine disc, and electric fan
combine to give the effect of a highly efficient heat exchanger, which does
not rely heavily on speed to dissipate the thermal energy which is generated. No problems / Just advantages!

Now the temperature factor can be disregarded... With the Combiflex Brakes and Clutches,
overheating can be completely eliminated. In fact, their heat dissipation is
such that they remain cool in all operating conditions. |

also wear is minimised... With the under control and lower top speeds the friction material can
enjoy a new life... a longer life. This reduces the down times, and spares requirementes. From our experience, with over 5000 Brakes
in permanent service, we can assure a lining life which exceeds 10.000 hours.

and simplified assembly... The central turbine disc is supplied as standard with a conical adaptor
which eliminates the requirement for keys,stop rings etc, end also guarantees the true
alignment of disc to shaft. |

Combiflex The modular design of the Combiflex unit gives
total versatility. The simple addition or removal of calipers can be achieved
easily on both Clutch and Brake assemblies, to allow for a change in machine
operating conditions, to improve tension control, or to give emergency stop
facility. |
