Quiet Brakes
Our quiet brakes have few moving parts and integrated features to prevent noise during setting and releasing of the brake, including:
- O-ring on hub to prevent friction ring rattle
- Coil insulation: Class 180(H)
- Optional manual release
- Comes standard with carrier friction disc
These quiet brakes are ideal for high cycle applications including residential elevators & dumbwaiters.
Quiet Motor Brake Technology
Stearns armature actuated brakes with ultra-quiet features are ideal for applications where motor brake operation has to be extremely quiet, including:
- Elevators
- Theater/Stage motors
- Commercial doors
- Quiet rooms
- Medical equipment
- Noise sensitive factory/assembly areas
A combination of the following features are used to quiet the “popping” associated with typical brake setting and releasing:
- Dampening O-rings - to reduce noise level of brake setting and/or releasing
- Unique hub design - to reduce operating noise while brake is released
These quiet features are included based on specific application requirements. Stearns quiet technology can be incorporated into any of our Series 33X AAB design brakes, reducing brake noise to a level that is barely audible.
