Heavy Duty Dual Disk Pneumatic Brakes

Dover pneumatic brakes are an integral part of a high-performance unwind package. All pneumatic brakes feature a limited travel piston that never scratches the disk, ductile iron disk construction, and expanded disk surface for rapid heat dissipation.

Our asbestos-free friction pads are available in several coefficients of friction. No tools are required to change the friction pads, making brake maintenance quick and "hassle free".
 

Pneumatic Brakes Capabilities Heavy-duty brake for unwind applications Wide torque range Large heat dissipation capacity Hassle-free friction pad removal and installation--no tools required Available in six sizes. Largest 5 sizes use patented Universal Actuators. Limited travel piston prevents disks from scoring. Cylinders can be actuated individually. Return spring can not puncture diaphragm. The actuator is interchangeable with brakes by DFE or Montalvo®. No Squeal Pneumatic Brake Warranty   Detail Viewer Detailed information for your tension control decisions.

Read installation conditions for the No-Squeal Warranty to apply.   UNIVERSAL ACTUATOR™ Dual Disk brake w/Universal Actuator™ and DFE's patented brake pad Cost-reducing benefits of a Universal Actuator™ assembly retrofit: Proprietary 'quick-change' release locks allow friction pads to be changed out in seconds without tools. Because the machine operator can do this himself, downtime for pad changes by maintenance personnel is eliminated. Actuator bolts never need to be loosened to make pad changes. Zero-maintenance piston design.  The piston diaphragms are sealed from contact with the actuator spring. This feature, in conjunction with DFE's limited-travel piston, has eliminated the possibility of a blown diaphragm.  The limited-travel pistons also prevent disk scoring.  All DFE products are warranted to be free of defects in material and workmanship for 5 years--the industry's longest warranty. Replacing the existing actuator assembly with DFE's user-friendly alternative is more efficient and less expensive than replacing an entire brake. Savings are substantial if upgrading multiple unwinds.  Universal Actuator™ Assembly for 130 Series Dual Disk Brake Click on any of the links listed below to read related articles about DFE's brakes: Brake actuator retrofit reduces maintenance costs Are squealing brakes on your unwind or payoff a problem? 3000 series brake meets high-torque challenge "No-squeal" brakes - setting the record straight Montalvo® is a registered trademark of the Montalvo Corporation
