Drum Brakes

Nexen has a large selection of drum brakes to fit a variety of applications.

Drum brakes are air-actuated with a diaphragm-sealed actuator that forces a brake shoe on a drum surface to provide the braking torque. Brake drums are bored and keyed to fit standard shafts.

The brake unit and the drum hubs are ordered separately. Drum hubs have many keyed bore sizes available, as well as blank bores for customer finishing.

The brake shoes are clamped on the outside of the drum to provide brake torque up to 3750 in-lbs. Hinge top models offer a convenient feature to change rolls when the brake is used in tension control applications.

Drum Brakes address these functions:

• Controlled Deceleration

• Tension Control

• Stopping/Holding
