Mannesman Demag - Model KOS & KBOS

Mannesman Demag manufactures a Microspeed 2 Speed Drive Unit model KOS and KBOS. Midwest Brake® and Mannesman Demag worked together to develop an oil shear clutch/brake for the Microspeed Drive Units. This clutch/brake is supplied on new drives as OEM equipment and as a retrofit package for existing units in the field.

The oil shear clutch/brake operates in a bath of hydraulic transmission fluid which lubricates the discs and dissipates heat. The shearing of oil between the clutch discs transmits the torque and heat. The friction discs experience little or no wear.

The oil shear clutch/brake can provide years of service with no wear, no adjustments and no maintenance. It is a totally enclosed and oil immersed package that makes it impervious to outside contaminants. Thus, airborne coolants and metal chips from the machining operation cannot affect the operation or life of the friction material. The heat transfer by the oil shear principle provides uniform operation and cycling from Monday morning to Friday afternoon.

Midwest Brake® Oil Shear Clutch Features Include:

• Eliminate Monday Morning Syndrome
• Oil Shear Brake - Results in longer life, better heat transfer
• No adjustment
• Totally Enclosed Unit - System unaffected by environment
• No External Controls Required to Operate Brake
• No Overlap between Clutch & Brake
• Full Braking torque for Emergency Stops
