Its lower weight androtational inertia will simplifyinstallation and reduce web waste.Quick change componentsmake maintenance a snap.Plus, Nexen technical service,parts and accessories are onlya phone call away. No othertension control brake in theindustry has such a comprehensivepackage of features.Affordably priced, the XTBseries comes in various sizes tofit your application.With all these features, itmakes you wonder why you’dconsider using any othertension control brake.200Keeping cool with theXTB airflow path.Unlike other brake designs thatcan direct heat back into thebrake, shaft and bearings, theXTB maximizes heat dissipationby deflecting it away fromthe brake components.This unique airflow design usesfins on the rotor, hub back andcalipers to throw dissipatedheat into space, not into thebrake or shaft. The design alsohelps draw cooler air aroundand over the brake.The new,one-piece lightweight rotorpulls cool air into the brake anddraws it over the air hoses sothey don’t overheat and crack.Note that air hoses run alongthe inner, not outer, circumferenceof the calipers. This keepshose lengths to a minimum, tohelp protect them and keepthem cool.The airflow path then directsthe air over the caliper fins.These fins redirect air out andaway from the assembly.Fins on the back of the hubalso draw cool air back overthe calipers to help cool the<strong>friction</strong> material and hoses.Tests run with the brakes atmaximum torque show theRecommended shaft bearingtemperatures are normallyaround 170 ° F, (76° C). If thisheat is not directed away, ittravels back into the brake andup the shaft to the bearings.This can cause brake fade,shaft crystallization and bearingseal meltdown.Less weight for lowerrotational inertiaNot only is Nexen’s rotorlighter than other brake rotors,the entire brake weighs 40%of what other brakes weigh forRPM = V/2πRI = wk 2Unwind roll dynamicsV = product velocity(constant)R = unwind roll radiusI = inertiaw = weightk = radiusup to 2/3 less rotational inertia.Lower weight and lowerrotational inertia are criticalbecause of the dynamics of theunwind roll. Tension is constantand the radius is changingconstantly. Lower rotationalinertia makes the XTB moreprecise at lower torques. This isespecially important whenrunning delicate materials thatrequire precise tension, suchas tissue or nylon.Lower rotational inertiafor less web wasteThe XTB has up to 2/3 lessrotational inertia than otherbrakes. Rotational inertiacreates undesirable tensionthat can break your web beforeFins on the one-piece rotor help deflecthot air and draw cool air over the brake.your material runs all the wayto the core. And your web willbreak even earlier whenrunning delicate materials.Why waste several hundredfeet of product every roll dueto breakage?Precisely control eachcaliper pneumaticallyor electronicallyThere are 2 pistons thatactivate the <strong>friction</strong> pads oneach caliper. Choose up to 9calipers per brake, dependingupon brake size.Precise control of the airpressure to the calipersgenerates the low to hightorque range. High torquemaintains the tension needs ona large roll of material. Lowtorque yields the delicatecontrol needed near the core.You get this precision controlby using Nexen’s Three StageCaliper Control to divide thenumber of XTB calipers intothree groups, or stages.Pneumatically control thesestages individually or incombination. This gives you theeffect of having several brakeswith different torque ranges.For the ultimate in precisionunwind control, combine theThree Stage Caliper Controlwith a Nexen Electronic TensionControl System. Don’t risk downtimeby using another brakeyou can’t accurately control.
