Applications
The Mondel Braketronic Controller provides variable torque control of Mondel Thruster- operated shoe or disc brakes.
Braketronic Controllers can be applied to single or multiple brake systems and can be supplied from DC, single-phase or three-phase power supplies at any voltage or frequency.
The typical Braketronic Controller can operate in conjunction with a foot pedal or master switch to deliver proportional control of the brakes.
In less demanding applications the Braketronic can be programmed to apply the brakes at a predetermined rate by means of "ramp down" using a single step device in a radio transmitter or pendant.
Command can be arranged for radio remote control only or selected to operate from either cab or radio through the command transfer switch.
Mondel Braketronic Controllers and brake systems are replacing high maintenance power assisted air over hydraulic systems.
Mondel has applied Braketronic Systems on a wide variety of indoor and outdoor cranes. These can be found in steel mills, foundries, aluminum smelters, copper refineries, power generation plants (including nuclear), shipyards, assembly shops and warehouses through North America. Other applications include moveable lift bridges, conveyors, fans, lockgates and many other types of rotating machinery.
