Brake powder (or magnetic powder) is a fine, magnetically responsive material used in specialized electromagnetic brakes and clutches for precise torque and tension control in industrial machinery, acting as the working medium that solidifies under a magnetic field to create smooth, stepless resistance between rotating parts, crucial for winding, printing, and testing applications.

Combiflex pneumatic brakes, since 1974, have been representing the lendmark for the converting industry. Mounted on the roll stand unwinders, they represent the best solution to guarantee a perfect and precise web tension during the whole process.

Thousands of applications in different industries, a constant research of new materials and technologies and the study and testing of the pneumatic brakes, have allowed us to increase the know how and to continuously improve our product. The experience gained is closed in a very high quality product, installed on the roll stands of the most important companies all over the world.

LIFE SPAN: each detail of the pneumatic brake has been studied and improved during the years to obtain the maximum heat dissipation in order to guarantee a long life span and an important maintenance cost reduction.

PERFORMANCE: the working principle of the Combiflex pneumatic brake, has been studied to guarantee zero residual torque and maximum sensitivity and linearity in all application and working condition.

INNOVATION: “When the market crowns you a sector leader, you look back at how far you have come. When it crowns you a world leader, though, you look forward at the way ahead. The challenge is to keep renewing: always better and ever higher.” The continuous research of our technicians to find new materials and technologies is the success of Re combiflex brakes in more than 40 years.
