Nexen Group (Vadnais Heights, MN) introduced the Flange Mounted Clutch-Brake Enclosed (FMCBE) for any environment where cleanliness is a primary concern. A single, double-acting piston prevents simultaneous clutch and brake engagement. It features a nickel-plated finish to resist corrosion, and stainless steel, hex-head bolts with no exposed threads or sockets. All machined mating surfaces are sealed with O-rings to prevent ingress of fluids. The clutch-brake has no indentations, allowing easy cleaning and eliminating areas of possible build-up and contamination.
