Detailed Product Description

The Hilliard / Twiflex type MK Rail / Disc Brake is designed for use on elevators, conveyors, cranes, or other devices requiring a spring-applied electromagnetically released brake. The patented MK brake can be applied to a guide rail or a brake disc. It is unique in that it is direct acting with only one moving part.

The brake incorporates an electromagnetic coil that uses a voltage dropping circuit to minimize
current draw and heat when the brake is released. Shipped with manual release bolts for easy assembly to the rail or disc, it can also be equipped with a manual release mechanism for a momentary release of the brake with a standard open-end or socket wrench.
