Linear Profile Guide Rail Brakes

Nexen’s RBB Series of Linear Profile Guide Rail Brakes use spring force to secure the load in holding applications. Superior response time and high force for stopping and holding in e-stop and
power-off situations. Each RBB brake clamps directly onto the center of the guide rail to provide positive braking and holding in all axes, with no effect on bearing surfaces. These profile
rail brakes hold position accurately by reducing drive train backlash and elasticity.

• High clamping force
• Low backlash
• Spring-engaged, air-released
• Holds in all orientations
• Emergency stopping and holding
• Brake geometry matches rail system
• Models to fit most guide rail systems

When starting any new automation project, In-Position Technologies engineers start by reviewing the key requirements to determine all necessary components needed in an application. This includes providing recommendations for any appropriate controllers, power supplies, sensors, encoders, bearings, couplings, and any other components needed to fit the application. Our engineers perform all necessary engineering assessments to make sure all components perform properly together, are within customer specifications, and do not come with unnecessary costs.

This includes:

• Payload, reach, speed, cycle time, and repeatability requirement
• Specifying the appropriate feedback device (sensors, vision system, torque sensor)
• Verifying mounting compatibility, form factor checks, etc.
• Ensuring compatibility with the current system
• Ensuring all necessary auxiliary equipment are also specified

When ordering Linear Profile Guide Rail Brakes as a part of a full system, IP Tech engineers review the solution to ensure:

• All parts and fittings necessary for a complete working solution are included
• All components have been checked and verified to work together as a system
• The selected components will perform as required by the project specifications
