Engineered for take-up stability.
The RULA Heavy-Duty Capstan Brake and Damper System provides controlled braking and damping of conveyor gravity take-up systems, improving stability and control during sudden or rapid take-up movement. It offers a highly adjustable response range, allowing braking and damping characteristics to be accurately matched to cable velocity and gravity take-up movement, and can be fine-tuned to suit specific conveyor configurations, operating conditions and client requirements.
Key Features
- Highly Adjustable Response — braking and damping characteristics can be precisely adjusted to suit cable speed and gravity take-up movement
- Application-Specific Configuration — fine-tuned according to the requirements of each conveyor system and operating environment
- Standalone Operation — operates independently without requiring electrical power or the conveyor drive motor to be running
- Low Maintenance — robust design with little to no routine maintenance required
- Heavy-Duty Construction — designed for demanding industrial and bulk materials handling applications
