Force Control load brakes feature oil shear technology that allows them to absorb extreme torque at speeds as low as 0 rpm, so that the dynamometer can accurately capture data at these very low speeds. Oil Shear Technology can provide instant load spikes and static lock-up of up to 3-times the continuous load rating, making […]
Oil-shear load brakes absorb extreme torque to zero rpm
Force Control load brakes feature oil shear technology that allows them to absorb extreme torque at speeds as low as 0 rpm, so that the dynamometer can accurately capture data at these very low speeds. Oil-shear technology can provide instant load spikes and static lock-up of up to three times the continuous load rating, making […]

Dynamometers with Positorq oil shear load brakes test to zero rpm
Force Control dynamometers featuring Positorq oil shear load brakes absorb extreme torque at very low speed, down to zero rpm. This allows them to accurately capture data at these critical junctures when dynos equipped with traditional load brakes cannot. Oil Shear Technology can provide instant load spikes and static lockup of up to three times…
How motor brakes can help alleviate worker shortage issues
Force Control Industries’ MagnaShear maintenance-free, no-adjustment motor brakes eliminate motor brake downtime. And because the best kind of maintenance is no maintenance, they can also help to alleviate problems associated with worker shortages. With no adjustment or maintenance required, save for an annual oil change, these dependable motor brakes allow maintenance personnel to be tasked…
MagnaShear motor brakes provide secure, no-maintenance holding brake solution for conveyors
MagnaShear motor brakes provide a secure, no-maintenance, no-adjustment, holding brake solution for critical conveyor applications such as those found in aggregate and mining operations. In addition to holding brakes, MagnaShear brakes are suitable for mining applications where the motor is stopped, or reversed, each cycle such as loaders/unloaders, conveyors, rail car spotters and dumpers, overland…
Maintenance free hazardous duty brakes
The MagnaShear hazardous duty brakes use oil shear technology to provide longer service life with virtually no maintenance or adjustment. These brakes now meet Class I and Class II Div. 2 specifications (Div. 1 in process with approval forthcoming). With spring set torque ratings from 3 to 900 ft-lb available, these motor brakes can be…
Double C-face Coupler Brake Reduces Costs
Double C-face coupler brake mounts on drive end of standard C-face motor brake between reducer and C-face motor. It replaces commonly used motor brakes mounted on back of a special motor designed with mounting flange and extended shaft on fan end. Simplify inventory and reduce costs by eliminating purchase and stock of brake and standard…
