Low Inertia Spring-Set Brake
To properly select a brake, the total
rotating inertia, WR
2
, must be reflected
to the brakeshaft.
Application Data:
Refer to page 45, except, cyclic op er a tion—
7 CPM, and 218 Very Low Inertia Clutch.

From duty chart (page 23) “Group B”
for spring-set brake (SS):
214 SS Brake is rated @ 28 HP/100 RPM
90% torque rating = 24,800 lb.in.
WR
2
of 214 SS VLI Brake = 4.5 lb.ft.
2
, therefore
deceleration torque calculation is correct.
