INDUSTRIAL Brakes & CLUTCHES for Concrete, Asphalt & Aggregate

Spring-Set Motor Brakes & Shaft-Mounted Clutch Couplings

Managing and maintaining a balance of rigorous manufacturing processes with operations that promote environmental responsibility are the biggest challenges facing producers of cement and asphalt today. Safe and efficient working conditions are the key drivers of success for large scale producers of ready-mix concrete, aggregate and other geological materials used in the construction industry.

Stearns offers a range of reliable, energy-efficient electromagnetic brakes and clutches ideal for high-energy extraction and processing applications that require high torque under harsh conditions. Our spring-applied motor brakes provide precise control of plant machinery for streamlined cement and asphalt production, and are essential for extended plant operating life, smooth cement manufacturing workflows and quick response times. We can also modify the brakes in our catalog or create a custom braking system to meet your specific needs.

Types of Brakes for Machinery Used in Concrete & Aggregate Production

Stearns motor brakes and clutch-couplings help control a wide range of demanding, high-volume industrial brake system applications used in cement factories, grinding plants, ready-mix plants, aggregate quarries, distribution centers and marine terminals.Types include:

Solenoid actuated brakes: spring-set, electrically released motor brakes that ensure automatic stopping & holding when power is interrupted (safety brakes)
Foot-mounted solenoid brakes: can be close coupled directly to the motor & fan guard mount
Style E Class S heavy-duty clutches: Power ON shaft mounted clutch-couplings that are engaged when power is applied, with tapered bore & rotating magnet/coil carbon brush assembly
Style SCE Class S3 heavy-duty clutches: spring-set, electrically released (open) shaft mounted clutch couplings with primary field-coil design & rotating magnet/coil carbon brush assembly

Our industrial solenoid brakes can also be outfitted with an encoder if needed.
