Linear brakes are used to slow or stop linear motion in conveyors, web systems, and vehicles. Technologies include friction, eddy current braking, and hysteresis.
Mechanical brakes are assemblies consisting of mechanical elements for the slowing or stopping of shafts in equipment drives. Mechanical power is required to activate the brake.
Pneumatic brakes are assemblies consisting of elements for the slowing or stopping of shafts in equipment drives. Air is required to activate the brake.
