For brakes and clutches, suppliers continue to hone in on finer-tuned design iterations. Mach III's friction brake designs feature linear bearings to facilitate smooth operation down to the core, while Montalvo offers an anti-squeal material that can solve brake operating problems without necessitating machine parameter changes. Horton has introduced tension control brakes and clutches for winding/unwinding with tunable, precise torque-to-air pressure settings.
