The Hilliard Model HPU-E2 Hydraulic Power Unit is designed to operate a wide range of Hilliard/Twiflex Brake Systems. Fully enclosed in a NEMA 4 cabinet, the unit is ideally suited for use in extremely harsh environments.
The MXEA electric released caliper features a DC pancake motor driving through a recirculating ball screw to release lever. Thrust is provided by a fully enclosed helical compression spring. Braking force can be manually adjusted down to 50% of maximum rated force. This brake also has a manual release feature.
Often described as "Safety Brakes," these units are typically installed on the low-speed shaft or final drive of critical equipment. Preset torque profiles can be achieved when controlled by Hilliard Hydraulic Power Units.
