We supply brakes for stranding machinery used across the wire and cable industry, including units compatible with equipment from Niehoff, Pourtier, Setic, Lesmo, Troester, Maillefer, Stolberger, and Queins. Our range covers the main braking technologies required in stranding lines: electromagnetic brakes, pneumatic disc brakes, spring-applied brakes, and hydraulic braking systems — sourced and matched to your specific machine configuration.

Brakes are critical components in tubular stranding machines, double-twist stranders, planetary stranders, and bunching machines. They control back-tension on pay-off spools, manage deceleration during emergency stops, and regulate wire feed under variable load conditions. A reliable braking system directly impacts lay length consistency, wire surface quality, and production line safety — making correct part selection essential.

We cover both holding brakes and dynamic braking applications. Spring-applied electromagnetic brakes are widely used where fail-safe operation is required — they engage automatically on power loss, ensuring the stranding head or drum comes to a controlled stop. Pneumatic disc brakes are common on larger tubular machines handling heavy drums, while electromagnetic tooth clutch-brakes are often found in double-twist and planetary configurations requiring fast cycling and precise torque control.

All brake units are available in the torque ratings, shaft sizes, voltage classes (24V DC, 90V DC, 180V DC, 205V DC), and pressure specifications required by your machine. We also supply brake rectifiers, coils, friction discs, armature plates, and complete brake assemblies as replacement parts for ongoing maintenance programs. Worldwide shipping is available, with technical support throughout the selection and ordering process.
