Heavy Duty Dual Disk Pneumatic BrakesDover pneumatic brakes are an integral part of a high-performance unwind package. All pneumatic brakes feature a limited travel piston that never scratches the disk, ductile iron disk construction, and expanded disk surface for rapid heat dissipation. Our asbestos-free friction pads are available in several coefficients of friction. No tools are required to change the friction pads, making brake maintenance quick and "hassle free". Pneumatic Brakes Capabilities
- Heavy-duty brake for unwind applications
- Wide torque range
- Large heat dissipation capacity
- Hassle-free friction pad removal and installation--no tools required
- Available in six sizes.
- Largest 5 sizes use patented Universal Actuators.
- Limited travel piston prevents disks from scoring.
- Cylinders can be actuated individually.
- Return spring can not puncture diaphragm.
- The actuator is interchangeable with brakes by DFE or Montalvo®.

UNIVERSAL ACTUATOR™
Dual Disk brake w/Universal Actuator™ and DFE's patented brake pad |
Cost-reducing benefits of a Universal Actuator™ assembly retrofit: - Proprietary 'quick-change' release locks allow friction pads to be changed out in seconds without tools. Because the machine operator can do this himself, downtime for pad changes by maintenance personnel is eliminated. Actuator bolts never need to be loosened to make pad changes.
- Zero-maintenance piston design. The piston diaphragms are sealed from contact with the actuator spring. This feature, in conjunction with DFE's limited-travel piston, has eliminated the possibility of a blown diaphragm. The limited-travel pistons also prevent disk scoring.
- All DFE products are warranted to be free of defects in material and workmanship for 5 years--the industry's longest warranty.
- Replacing the existing actuator assembly with DFE's user-friendly alternative is more efficient and less expensive than replacing an entire brake. Savings are substantial if upgrading multiple unwinds.
