BRAKES

The Cincinnati Brake is a fail-safe mechanical pinch brake that holds even without air pressure. The brake holding force for normal operation is provided by air canisters that have a spring to close them in case of zero air pressure. Brakes are offered with either a solid brass lining (shoe) or a woven lining compatible with softer brake fins for use in magnetic brakes. The sizes of the brakes are the following when there is one lead in end. A brake with a lead in at each end is slightly longer.
