Combiflex Pneumatic Brakes
More Info
- Compatible with all existing roll stands (backstands), including Powell Engineering, BHS, Martin and Langston.
- Modular caliper design and unique turbine rotor reduce brake size & cost.
- Excellent heat dissipation and high quality kevlar pads lengthen pad life.
- Brakes run cool, minimizing squealing and brake dust.
- Self-enclosed – safe without a cage.
The Re pneumatic brake (friction brake) runs cool on unwind stands so brake pads last far longer than other brake pads.
Easily retrofits Martin and Langston roll stands.
Standard on major OEM machinery including:
- Powell Engineering
- BHS
- Agnati
- Favalessa
- Pemco
- Torres
- and others...
- Modular brake design allows calipers to be added or removed to suit each application for customized tension control.
- Special turbine brake rotor increases air flow through the brake, reduces heat, and extends brake pad life.
- Internal fan provides further cooling; keeps brake cool even at slow speeds.
- High performance kevlar brake pads last longer while reducing noise and dust.

Combiflex Synopsis
The primary function of brakes is to convert mechanical energy into
heat, which is then dissipated into the atmosphere. Traditional
air-cooled disc brakes are actually very poor heat exchangers, depending
largely on a high rotational speed, a large disc diameter, and a large radiant
surface to dissipate heat. Often, these brakes overheat, reducing
the brake’s efficiency while increasing noise and dust. To
solve this problem, most brake manufacturers simply increase the
disc size, creating an unnecessarily large brake.
Double E / Re COMBIFLEX BRAKES
Combiflex rotors are designed with a bi-directional turbine that
increases airflow through the brake, even at slow speeds. This airflow
allows the brake to dissipate heat more efficiently than other disc
brakes.
Attention to ventilation is carried
through to the brake housing as well. Combiflex brake housings use
a ventilating hole pattern that permits free circulation of air
from the middle of the unit to the edges. A built-in fan increases
the heat dissipation even further, and ensures a cool-running brake
regardless of the running speed. Because these brakes run cool, they eliminate brake fade,
excessive noise (squealing) and brake dust, and premature pad wear.
Combiflex pneumatic brake pads last far longer than other brake pads because of the brake’s efficiency and the proprietary kevlar-based pad material. These advantages have made the Combiflex brake the most popular in Europe. They are standard equipment on 85% of European OEM machinery.
The brake’s modular caliper design allows flexibility with the number of calipers used (for improved tension control and/or to allow emergency stopping ability). Unneeded braking power is eliminated, and all customers get brakes that are optimized for their application.
It’s easy to upgrade and roll stand to Combiflex brakes. Most often Re brakes are smaller than existing pneumatic brakes, and the basic model is appropriate and simple to install. Standard rollstand-specific models also exist for Langston, Martin, and other common stands.
