Fisher Barton has introduced a groundbreaking advancement in braking technology with its Tension Brake System. This next-generation system is currently being used for utility construction applications, offering unparalleled performance and reliability.

Reveloutionizing Braking Technology

  • Smooth, Consistent Braking: The Tension Brake System ensures smooth and consistent braking, reducing pulses and surges on the line. This is achieved through a unique three-point design that maintains consistent braking tension
  • Enhanced Thermal Management: Unlike traditional braking systems, Fisher Barton’s technology uses a composite rotor that is coated with ceramice for enhanced friction coefficients. This  innovative material radiates heat away from the braking surface more efficiently than solid bronze rotors, improving thermal conductivity and extending the lifespan of brake pads
  • 30% Reduction in Cost
  • 60% Reduciton in Weight
  • Higher Torque and Cooler Operation: The system is engineered to provide higher torque while operating at cooler temperatures. This results in less wear and tear, reducing maintenance downtime and costs
  • Durability and Reliability: Fisher Barton’s braking components are designed to withstand the rigors of industrial applications. The advanced materials and design ensure long-lasting performance, making them ideal for high static and dynamic torque applications
