Hardware
16″ Ventilated 415B Aluminum-Bronze disc w/ stainless steel and Almag mechanical tensioning adjustment assembly. Adjustment wheel equipped w/ fine threads. 3000 ft-lbs torque delivered by self-moderating rubber insert bushing (U.S. Patent # 4,325,552). Disc/hub machined from one casting to ensure exact alignment. 5/16″ Diameter chamfered clean out holes provided in radial pattern along both sides of disc. MG-Bronze bolt-together housing w/ free-axis MG-Bronze caliper and stainless steel pivot pins. RF-38 Non-asbestos brake material w/ 48 sq-in combined pad area. Knurled pad holder surface to maximize coefficient of friction between pad and holder casting.
Reel Bar
2 1/4″ 8000 lbs galvanized reel bar w/ AL-Bronze positioning collar w/ lifting hook. Cast steel power arm w/ lifting hook disengages from brake w/o disturbing tension setting. Dove-tail connection between brake and reel bar w/ MG-Bronze reel bar saddles. Self-retaining bronze latch pin (U.S. Patent # 5,228,656) locks reel bar in saddle.
Performance
Capable of tensioning 5000′ of wire at full braking torque up to 18 RPM. Operating ambient temperature range of -20 to +105 degrees Fahrenheit Rotor and pad surface to withstand temperatures up to 525 degrees Fahrenheit. Average pad life at 50% of maximum torque and speed is 4500 revolutions – approximately 10 miles w/ 48″ diameter reel.
