Oct. 31, 2008
Danaher Motion introduces Deltran MCS/MBF Series Metric Clutches and Brakes.  These RoHS-compliant clutches and brakes are available off-the-shelf in diameters from 63 to 280 mm (2.48 to 11.02 in.), torque ratings from 5.5 to 500 Nm (49 to 4,425 lb-in), 7 different frame sizes, and a wide selection of DIN 6885/1-compliant metric bores and standard metric keyways.  Customized versions are also available.Deltran MCS/MBF series clutches and brakes feature a zero backlash armature design, provide static or dynamic engagement, and are rated for use in operating temperatures from -10°C to 40°C.  Their higher torque rating enables users to install a smaller, less expensive unit than would otherwise be possible with competitive options, while their form, fit and function matches the most popular and globally-available metric clutch and brake products.  As a result, they are an ideal cost-effective solution for smaller OEMs producing on the order of 1000 machines annually, or as a drop-in replacement, in medical, material handling, packaging, robotics and factory automation applications, among others.
