RAIL BRAKES Nexen’s linear motion control products deliver pinpoint precision and high-performance with no backlash. They’re designed for exceptional reliability, little maintenance and long life. You get precisely what youneed with this innovative line: Profile Electric Rail Brake (Patent Pending) Nexen’s Electric Rail Brake (RBE) provides a new level of performance and reliability for electric braking on profile rails with fast response times, low backlash and on-board controller logic. Nexen’s mechatronic technology combines the latest electronic and mechanical components, providing the best combination of features available in electric rail brakes today.
	The RBE was designed to ensure maximum power density, robustness and efficiency. An on-board microcontroller receives and sends the engage/disengage signals to the drive components. This same system provides digital feedback of engagement. Fast response time -- 54% faster than the competition Once engaged, power can be removed and full brake holding force will remain Brake locks in place and holds precisely Brake completely disengages with zero rail contact and substantial opening of the shoes, eliminating system friction and allowing minor variations in rail alignment The on-board controller means no need for an externally-mounted controller Brake provides clamping feedback, via cable and on-board LED Configurations to fit most profile guide rails (THK, IKO, HIWIN, NSK, INA) High holding force of the brake is used when the drive cannot perform the brake function on its own Brake provides stiffness to eliminate vibration in linear drive systems Profile Rail Brake — RBR Series Fits 20, 25 and 35 mm Profile Guide Rails Nexen’s RBR-series of Rail Brakes is a cost-effective solution for holding loads on guide rail systems. The spring-engaged, air-released brake is ideal for power-off applications, and clamps directly onto the center of the guide rail to provide positive holding in all axes. The unique design uses a horizontal air/spring chamber to apply force on the rail through a wedge and roller mechanism, providing low backlash and accurate positioning. The RBR is engineered for dependable performance, easy setup and low maintenance. Spring engaged, air released for power-off and holding applications Low backlash for accurate positioning, while also providing stiffness and eliminating vibration in linear drives Configurations to fit many guide rail systems, including: THK-HSR, THK-SHS, NSK-LH and HIWIN-HGR Low maintenance, due to fewer wear parts Field serviceable shoe replacement Easy to set up, no adjustments necessary Low release pressure, compatible with most plant air supplies Sized right to match bearing cassettes
