The range of modular brake systems from Twiflex has been further expanded with the launch of the new VSD Series, which incorporates several of Twiflex’s newest technological improvements. Designed for use in a variety of industrial braking applications – including mining conveyors, hoists, geared grinding mills, offshore deck lifts, and mooring winches – the VSD Series is simple to install, adjust and maintain.
