Tension Brakes

As creators of the original air cooled brake, Montalvo is continuously recognized as industry leading in tension control brake technology. Wide torque ranges, high heat dissipation, quality construction, reduced maintenance, and better performance for your process.

Not sure which brake is best for your application? 

 

1. V Series Tension Brakes

From bolt to disc to pad, the V-Brake is designed to increase your productivity. No other brake in the industry is as easy to install, operate, and maintain as the V-Brake. Maintaining your V-Brake takes only seconds with Montalvo’s exclusive “snap-out, snap-in” brake pad changes. Performance & Productivity in perfect unison.
 

Easy Installation
Drill and tap 2 holes in your mounting surface and install the anti-rotation studs. Slide brake onto the keyed shaft. Tighten set screws. V-Brake Installed.

Wide Torque Range
From 1.4 to 16,726 in-lb the V-Brake is available in four different models to meet the needs of practically any application. Get the performance you need with the V Tension Brake.

The V Pad
A game changer in the industry: No tools required to change every pad on your V-Brake. Just snap-out your old pads and snap-in the new ones. In only seconds every pad is changed.

Bi-Directional Operation
Unwind from the top or bottom of your roll.

Increased Cooling Capacity
The V-Brake succeeds where others fail. Even with high-torque at low speeds the V Tension Brake provides precise control. The V-Brake cover can also be fitted with a built in fan to provide users even greater cooling capacity.

High Heat Dissipation & Thermal Capacity Discs
Montalvo’s signature high thermal capacity discs combined with a patented fin design provides maximum heat dissipation to keep your V-Brake operating at the highest quality.

Immediately Operational
The V Tension Brake arrives ready for installation as a complete unit: safety cover and all.

2. CS Series Tension Brakes
Ideal for light duty applications, CS Series Brakes feature a low profile design with high capacity and low inertia. CS Brake install in just minutes to get you up and running faster with greater brake performance.

 

Low Profile Design
A compact, low profile design makes the CS ideal for web press, narrow web, flexopress, label press, slitter/rewinder, die cutter and other small scale applications.

Multiple Torque Ranges
CS Tension Brakes are available in two models for wider torque range options in order to meet the demands of your application.

Quick & Easy Installation
Just slide the assembly onto your keyed shaft, secure it with the torque pin and setscrews, and you are ready to apply air and run.

Cost Effective
CS Tension Brakes are one of the most cost effective small scale brake options in the industry but without sacrificing performance & control.

High Capacity, Low Inertia
A wide torque capacity expands the capabilities of your application while eliminating residual drag.

Low Maintenance
CS Tension Brakes are designed to maximize your productivity and thus require little maintenance with an easy & quick pad changing process.

High Heat Dissipation & High Performance
Ensure your process starts off right with an industry leader in light duty brake performance. Brake fin design ensures maximum heat dissipation extending the performance & service life of your CS Tension Brake.

3. Standard Series Tension Brakes
Dual disc performance and control with higher heat dissipation and easy maintenance. Montalvo’s Standard Series of Brakes ensures precise, accurate tension control right from the start.

 

Compact Dual Disc Design
The performance and torque range of two discs but designed to fit in even limited spaces. Performance & Versatility combined.

Wide Torque Range
Standard Tension Brakes are available in five different models to give you the precise torque requirements your application requires, whether it’s only 2.2 in-lb or all the way up to 20,905 in-lb.

V Pad Compatible
Standard Tension Brakes are available with Standard Pads or the “tool-less, snap-out, snap-in” V-Pads for rapid brake pad changes.

Quick & Easy Installation
Slide disc/hub assembly onto keyed shaft, attach necessary bolts & set screws and your Standard Brake is ready to operate.

High Thermal Capacity Disc & High Heat Dissipation
Montalvo’s signature high thermal capacity discs combined with the fin design ensures maximum heat dissipation extending the performance & service life of your Standard Tension Brake.

Bi-Directional Operation
Unwind from the top or bottom of your roll.

Air Cooled Disc Brake
What started as an industry innovation has only been refined over Montalvo’s 68 year history giving you unprecedented performance so your application maintains ultimate control at the unwind.

Low Maintenance
Standard Tension Brakes are designed to maximize your productivity and when combined with Montalvo’s V-Pads, maintenance/pad changes are measured in seconds not minutes.

Available Adapters
Standard Brakes are available with or without adapters to ensure easy installation based on the parameters of your application.
