Nexen Group, Inc. Profile Guide Rail Brakes are now available in a wider range of sizes: 15mm to 65mm, and are fully compatible with an even wider range of guide rail manufacturers including: THK, NSK, IKO, HIWIN, INA, SKF, Star, Bosch, Accu Tech and Schneeberger. As a result, they provide great first fit and ideal redundancy in a wide range of OEM and after market applications. Profile Guide Rail Brakes provide fast engagement at 0.049 to 0.080 seconds, high static holding force to 2,600 N (585 lbs) and can be combined to provide higher holding forces as needed. They also offer maintenance-free operation.

The Nexen Rail Brake design offers low backlash, accurate positioning, and excellent reliability. They are ideal for holding a load in position while failed reducers or motors are replaced. They also allow for the use of smaller drive systems because the brakes position and hold a load that might otherwise over power the drive system. The Rail Brakes clamp onto the center of profile guide rails to provide positive braking and holding in all axes without touching the bearing surface of the rail.
