Force Control

Force Control Industries, Inc. manufacturer's superior quality, unique design industrial clutches and brakes. Based on oil shear technology our industrial clutch and brake products provide superior life, as well as smooth operation, and quick response.

Posidyne Clutch Brakes with Oil Shear Technology are designed to provide start stop indexing for high cycle, severe duty applications where high reliability is critical and downtime very costly. Allowing the motor to run continuously provides high cycle capability up to 300 CPM, improves efficiency, eliminates inrush current, reduces cyclic inertia by not cycling the motor armature, and reduces maintenance costs.

Designed with Oil Shear Technology the MagnaShear Motor Brakes typically mount to the back of a brakeless brake motor. They are designed to be a stopping brake, not just a holding brake.

They can survive the harsh environments of mining, manufacturing, material handling as well as packaging and food processing with minimal maintenance and no adjustment. The totally enclosed rugged housings keep dirt and moisture out while reducing noise and extracting heat.

The Posistop Motor and Coupler Brakes are designed for long life with minimal maintenance in severe and critical applications. They are typically furnished as spring set, pressure release brakes however pressure set spring release is available in some models. The multiple disc design reduces inertia of the brake reducing load on the motor and improves efficiency each cycle.

Posistop motor brakes are designed to mount to the back of brake motors, and the coupler brakes are designed to mount to the drive end of the motor, often between the motor and reducer. Coupler brakes can also be used on servo motors.

The Posistop® X Class Oil Shear Motor and Coupler Brakes are designed and tested to operate over 20 million trouble free cycles with only occasional oil changes and no adjustment - ever! This is a true dynamic stopping brake, not just a holding brake.

This unheard of life expectancy allows the Posistop® X Class Motor and Coupler Brakes to be used on applications previously thought impossible to do using a brake. Dust, dirt, or moisture is no problem.

Smooth running, quiet engagement, and many options such as vertical, horizontal, foot mounting kit, extended input shaft, manifold mounted valve to name a few.

The Posistop X Class Brake is a direct replacement for many Nexen, and Warner brakes used in packaging, food processing, and production machine applications.

The Positorq Oil Shear Absorber brakes are a unique design for continuous tension control. The unique Oil Shear Technology provides extremely smooth, ultra-quick response, negligible wear with no adjustment required, high energy dissipation in a compact package, and noise free. Positorq Brakes are rated up to 180,000 Lb. Ft. Slip Torque and 3000 Thermal Horsepower.

The Positorq brakes work well in tension applications especially unwind stands where the brake is used to maintain tension on the strip. This can be paper, board, plastic, copper, steel, and wire. The brake can be coupled, flange mounted, or connected through gear, belt, or chain drive.

Whether it’s testing the most complex aircraft system, off road final drives, or tractor transmissions; Force Control has the products for your load testing requirements. Our patented high-torque, low-speed Positorq load brakes are used to simulate real world environments.

Force Control Industries unique Oil Shear Technology provides heat dissipation for high horsepower applications while maintaining a compact profile capable of direct mounting to the drive axle - eliminating additional gearboxes.
