Pneumatic caliper brakes for drawing, stranding, and rolling machines

For over 60 years, Coremo has produced a wide range of industrial brakes and clutches. Among these are positive and negative pneumatic caliper brakes, used in industrial applications within the wire and cable, tube, sheet metal, and metalforming sectors. Specifically, caliper brakes are employed in: unwinders and winders, drawing and stranding machines, braiders, wire and sheet metal processing lines, and bending machines.

Coremo brakes deliver reliable performance thanks to their linear and pressure-proportional response, high-quality materials , and rigorous quality tests throughout the entire production process. These features make them essential for precise tension control and maintaining plant safety.

Selection of pneumatic caliper brakes

Selecting the ideal brake is a critical phase of the decision-making process. It requires in-depth knowledge not only of the product but also of the necessary variables for calculation, friction materials, equipment, and the type of braking required. The braking needs range from continuous slippage, necessary for wire tensioning, to stop and emergency braking of inertial loads, as well as load parking or cyclic braking. The friction materials thus vary according to the specifics of the application and the brake disc used.

Its vast experience and deep application knowledge, in addition to specific software, allow Coremo to offer specialized support during the brake selection phase. Furthermore, products can be customized based on applications.

Common applications of pneumatic caliper brakes

• Drawing machines: braking the power transmission shaft for effective plant shutdown.
• Stranding machines: precise cable tension control during the unwinding of reels along with dynamic emergency braking.
• Rolling and sheet metal processing plants: dynamic emergency braking of bending machines and winders/unwinders.
• Tube machines: dynamic emergency braking and stopping of unwinders.

Advantages and cost reduction

• Robustness: solid construction to ensure high brake durability in industrial environments.
• Simplicity: a simple and intuitive design for quick installation and maintenance.
• Efficiency: high-level performance that helps reduce the risk of plant accidents.
• Reliability: monitoring of the entire production chain, use of high-quality materials, and rigorous testing to reduce costs associated with brake inconsistencies or long-term operation.
• Traceability: a traceability system for easy reordering of spare parts and an effective historical analysis of the purchased products.
