Warner Electric has built more than 90 years of design and manufacturing experience into its latest Gen4 range of spring operated, electromagnetically released brakes. The new design offers exceptional performance and longevity in a compact form factor, together with features and options that maximise flexibility and ease of integration for customers

The XS-series of spring actuated, electrically released brakes from Warner Electric - part of the Altra Industrial Motion Corporation - has been developed specifically to meet stringent space and weight requirements, providing reliable braking performance in a package weighing as little as 27g. Designed as statically engaged holding brakes, the XS units can also be used to stop a moving load in exceptional situations.

On Wednesday, 5th October 2016, Warner Electric celebrated the official opening of its extended factory in Angers, France. The new production facility consolidates Warner’s manufacturing activities to a single area, which has led to immediate improvements to lead times and the opportunity to further grow its product range.

Warner Electric, part of Altra Industrial Motion, has a range of braking systems that are designed to conform to the latest standards and deliver unparalleled reliability.

Geophysical survey trucks are worked long and hard, yet are required to consistently produce massive amounts of accurate data; day after day. When the survey area is Arctic Siberia, the working conditions are such that only the best engineering components can be used in the specialist equipment.
