Overview

Boston Gear's AC brakes come in two varieties: double C-face standard and double C-face washdown duty. Each is direct acting with only one moving part, making these brakes incredibly efficient. In addition, double C-face brakes provide the simplest solution for adding a brake between a C-face motor and a flanged gear reducer.
