Massey 1946 Press
A local company called us out for a clutch and brake fail on their Massey 1946 Press and after collection we identified that the brake/clutch was a Taylor size 26. As this is an older setup, we looked at our historic specification records to see what grade of friction and thickness was required. We then relined the brake plate by thermal bond and copper rivet as well as sourcing and supplying the new gear cut friction clutches. The job was completed and delivered back to our customer in a turnaround of less than 48 hours - great work team!#brakeandclutch #massey [...]

Cutler-Hammer 503 18″ Type M Brake
Cutler-Hammer brakes are used for both holding and stopping heavy loads. Common applications include hoists, conveyors, cranes and machine tools. These brakes are from the steel manufacturing industry, specifically off of an overhead crane hoist brake. Not only were these brake shoes relined by thermal bonding procedure some of them were hole line bored on our jig. This process enables us to oversize the diameter of the pin hole after which we can machine and fit a phosphor bronze bush. This removes the excess play out of the oval pin holes and the bushes which then leaves the brake [...]
